About this movie

In this emotional reckoning featuring unaired interviews spanning the 1980s to now, Richard Williams - the son of a cotton picker and the father of tennis legends Venus and Serena - retraces his family's journey from the poverty-stricken streets of Shreveport, Louisiana to the grass courts of Wimbledon, fighting back against systems of racial oppression and violence and breaking every rule of the lily-white tennis establishment to forever change the sport.
