WNBA star Brittney Griner believes her upcoming documentary about surviving imprisonment in Russia lands at a moment when many Americans are more ready to hear its message. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Griner said the film reflects her concerns about the current climate in the United States, particularly amid heightened immigration enforcement and political tension.
With her 30 for 30 documentary set to premiere Tuesday night at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival before airing later this year on ESPN, Griner said she hopes the project will “shed some light” on what the country could become “if we keep letting this happen.”
