Documentarian Sarah Dowland joins Kyle Meredith to talk about her documentary, Sue Bird: In the Clutch, which follows the life and career of WNBA star Sue Bird. Listen to the new episode above, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The filmmaker, who is also behind the legendary visual effects for several Harry Potter and Matrix films, talks about what initially drew her to Bird’s story. More than just a WNBA legend, Bird’s journey in the league touches on themes of misogyny, the mythololzation of athletes, and personal perseverance.

Of course, Dowland addresses the great coincidence of having the film debut during a marquee year for women’s basketball, as Caitlin Clark enters the professional league. With more eyes than ever on the WNBA, it’s just as important to look at the leagues’ past as it is its future.
