Documentary filmmaker Greg Whiteley happened to walk by a TV display in Costco when he saw his alma mater, Brigham Young University, win the national cheerleading championship.

Intrigued, he approached BYU about making a documentary about the squad. They weren't interested, so he shelved the idea. Years later, the idea came back to Whiteley when he was filming the Netflix football docuseries Last Chance U.

Finding his way into a cheerleading practice, Whitley was floored by what he saw. "They seemed to be taking practice even more seriously than the football team," he says.
