EXCLUSIVE: The Harlem Globetrotters and Todd Lieberman‘s Hidden Pictures are set to produce a documentary chronicling the history and impact of the legendary basketball team as they approach their 100th anniversary in 2026.
Emmy-winning ESPN Films and NFL Films producer and filmmaker Kenan Kamwana Holley will direct. Founded in Chicago in 1926, the Harlem Globetrotters were the first all-Black American basketball team that showcased and captured the spirit and talent of Black athletes at a time when they were not eligible to play professional team basketball.
The doc will shine a light, via talking heads and archive material, on the players’ inspirational story of overcoming adversity, leading equity for people of color, and breaking barriers for women players.
Among players to have played for the team over the decades are Wilt Chamberlain, Lynette Woodard, “Wee” Willie Gardner, Marques Haynes, Fred “Curly” Neal and “Sweet Lou” Dunbar.
