Mind/Game: The Unquiet Journey of Chamique Holdsclaw screening
2016-Jun-28 @ 19:00 - 19:56
The Cinema will screen Mind/Game: The Unquiet Journey of Chamique Holdsclaw (Rick Goldsmith, U.S. 2015, 56 min.) as part of the Reel Mind Film Festival, followed by a discussion with filmmaker Rick Goldsmith, Dr. Larry Guttmacher, and Patricia Sine.
From the rough-edged courts of New York City and recruited by Coach Pat Summitt for the University of Tennessee's Lady Vols, Chamique Holdsclaw was hailed as the "female Michael Jordan," impressing crowds with her artistry, athleticism and drive. A 3-time NCAA champ and Number One draft pick in the WNBA, Holdsclaw seemed destined for a spectacular professional career—until her long-suppressed battle with mental illness emerged to derail her career and threaten her life.
