Sarah Dowland joins Kyle Meredith to talk about her documentary, Sue Bird: In the Clutch. The documentarian, who is also behind the legendary visual effects for several Harry Potter and Matrix films, tells us why she wanted to tell the story of the basketball legend leading up to Bird’s retirement, why we look up to athletes, and the great coincidence of this doc coming out during Caitlin Clark’s record-breaking season and massive ratings for women’s basketball playoffs. Dowland also talks about the important stories told within the doc about the WNBA’s pay gap and looks back at when the players were encouraged to hide their sexuality, as well as the levity of seeing that Sue Bird and partner Megan Rapinoe keep their Olympic medals in shoeboxes in their closets.
