The Big Time to the Big Screen:
30 Years of Sports Filmmaking

Sponsored by ESPN

Whether played out on the field, in the ring, or on the court, every great sports drama is ultimately a human tale—of conflict, determination, passion, triumph, and loss. In honor of ESPN’s 30th anniversary, ESPN Films launches 30 for 30, an unprecedented documentary film series featuring 30 of today’s finest directors bringing to life 30 of the most remarkable sports stories from 1979 to 2009—the ESPN era. These films represent an extraordinary and diverse mosaic of the impact of sports on America and world culture.

Join Dan Klores, Barbara Kopple, Barry Levinson, and Albert Maysles—four of the 30 for 30 filmmakers—as they discuss how they are bringing their unique filmmaking points of view to their chosen stories. Moderated by ESPN's Chris Connelly.
