ESPN Films has recently given the green light for a new “30 for 30” documentary that will focus on the life and career of tennis legend Billie Jean King. The documentary is currently in production in collaboration with Ridley Scott Associates, Story Syndicate, and Elton John’s Rocket Sports.

This upcoming documentary aims to tell the untold story of how Billie Jean King defied the norms and silenced her critics. The film will be narrated in King’s own voice and will revolve around the pivotal year of 1973, shedding light on her incredible journey and the impact she had on both sports and society.

Renowned filmmaker Liz Garbus, known for her work on “What Happened, Miss Simone?”, along with Elizabeth Wolff, the director of “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark”, are at the helm of this project. They promise to offer a fresh perspective on King’s life and her groundbreaking contributions to the world of sports and beyond.

The legacy of Billie Jean King is unparalleled, as she not only excelled as an athlete but also spearheaded the fight for equal pay and against discrimination in sports and society. Garbus expresses her excitement about introducing King to a new generation of viewers who will be inspired by her courage and determination in the pursuit of equality.

This documentary, produced by Dominic Crossley Holland, Dan Cogan, and Jay de Andrade, is not the first to delve into King’s remarkable career. Previous projects like HBO’s “Billie Jean King: Portrait of a Pioneer” and PBS’ American Masters have highlighted her achievements, including the iconic “Battle of the Sexes” match with Bobby Riggs in 1973.

King’s story continues to resonate, particularly in the ongoing quest for gender equality in sports. Her dedication to achieving equality for all, starting from a young age, has paved the way for future generations of athletes. Through this documentary, King hopes to inspire others and make a positive impact on the lives of many.

ESPN Films, known for its acclaimed sports documentaries, including the Oscar-winning “30 for 30” series, is excited to bring King’s story to the forefront. Marsha Cooke, vice president and executive producer of ESPN Films and “30 for 30”, emphasizes the importance of revealing the real Billie Jean King – not just as a champion on the court but as a relentless advocate for equality and justice.

Stay tuned for more updates on the premiere date of this highly anticipated documentary, as further details will be announced later this year. Billie Jean King’s story is not just about sports; it’s a reflection of America’s journey towards progress and equality, making it a compelling and relevant narrative that resonates with audiences today.
