Storyline

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 WNBA season pivoted into a bubble site in Bradenton, Florida – where 144 players across 12 teams convened to face the rigors of an unrelenting schedule and finish their battle for a championship; all while just as dedicated to amplify social activism in response to the injustices that gripped that same summer. A documentary from ESPN Films.

From the tears that come with fulfilling a lifelong professional goal and those that come from not being able to explain senseless violence to a young child, "144" manages to encompass it all.

Watching the film as someone who reported on so many of these moments in real time, what was most affecting was not seeing the rooms where it happened, but rather going back at all.
