Still from “Granny’s Got Game”
First-time filmmaker Angela Alford has been garnering lots of praise (ESPN.com and Huffington Post, among many other admirers) for the documentary that she started as her final project in our Certificate in Documentary Arts program. Granny’s Got Game follows a senior women’s basketball team in North Carolina—seven fiercely competitive women in their seventies who battle physical limitations and skepticism to keep doing what they love (for two decades and counting) as they compete for another National Senior Games championship. Watch the trailer in this Huffington Post story.
