Followed by a Q&A with director Alexandria Stapleton
 
During one of her many trips to Russia to play in the Russian Women's Basketball Premier League, officials arrested Houston-raised basketball star Brittney Griner and held her in detainment for an undetermined amount of time. With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine following, Griner’s high-profile arrest escalates into a geopolitical negotiation as lawyers, politicians, and loved ones fight for her freedom. This extraordinary odyssey tells the tumultuous story of this towering presence on and off the court, including the circumstances that led her to Russia, the unwavering determination to secure her freedom, and her renewed perspective upon returning home.
