On the court, Bill Russell was a force to be reckoned with - a champion who sacrificed himself for his teammates and love of basketball. Off the court, Bill Russell was a force in the fight for human rights - marching with the great Martin Luther King Jr., pioneering NBA boycotts and fighting against racism. BILL RUSSELL: LEGEND tells the remarkable life and legacy of an NBA superstar and civil rights icon.

Press for Brady's work on BILL RUSSEL LEGEND:

"The documentary’s high points are remarkably poignant: A segment early in Part 2 that connects Russell’s childhood obsession with Renaissance paintings to his ordered and fiercely cerebral approach to basketball was so unexpectedly powerful that it choked me up." - Jack Hamilton, SLATE
