What's the Story?

In TAURASI, Diana Taurasi, the daughter of Argentinian immigrants to the U.S., shows great athletic promise. Her skills are nurtured by her California community, and she's recognized early on as one of the nation's top basketball players. She pursues her talents at a winning university where she's no longer the top dog on the team, and her coach pushes her to grow on and off the court. How will Diana continue to push the envelope? What's her secret to success?

A compelling documentary about one of the greatest basketball players to grace the court, this biopic includes gritty commentary from the GOAT herself about her winning attitude and her failures. Societal constraints regarding women's sports in the U.S. get a spotlight in Taurasi, having put the women who wanted to earn their due in the hands of Russian businessmen with shadowy dealings.

A solid pick for sports enthusiasts, this show can be enjoyed by families who don't worry about language getting in the way of storytelling. Fans of underdog stories, this one's for you.
