SWOOPES
ESPN documentary + post-film discussion
Synopsis: Sheryl Swoopes has famously been labeled as the female Michael Jordan. Actually, she's far more interesting. On the court, she was nearly as dominant as Michael: a national championship with Texas Tech, three Olympic gold medals, three MVP awards and four consecutive championships with the Houston Comets of the WNBA, the league she helped start. Off the court, she gave birth in the middle of her first WNBA championship season, divorced her high school sweetheart, and became the highest-profile athlete in her sport to declare she was gay. She has struggled with love, family, money and lack of recognition, but she has never lost her spirit. In this portrait, viewers will meet someone who's not the everyday superstar, a woman who has defied a multitude of labels.
