Apple Original Films has released the official trailer for the highly anticipated documentary, “Stephen Curry: Underrated” (2023). The film, directed and produced by Emmy Award winner Peter Nicks, is a remarkable coming-of-age story of one of the most influential and unexpected players in the history of basketball: Stephen Curry.
This feature documentary, which initially premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, utilizes a blend of intimate cinéma vérité, archival footage, and on-camera interviews. The film documents Curry’s rise from an undersized college player at a small town Division I college to a four-time NBA champion, building one of the most dominant sports dynasties in the world. The film also weaves in the story of the Golden State Warriors’ attempt to win another NBA championship following one of the worst seasons in their history.
In addition to his professional journey, the documentary provides a glimpse into Curry’s personal life. It covers his commitment to fulfilling a promise he made to his mother when he left Davidson early to declare for the NBA draft – that he would earn his college degree.
“Stephen Curry: Underrated” is the latest project by Peter Nicks, an award-winning documentary filmmaker known for films such as “The Waiting Room”, “The Force”, and “Homeroom”. The production team includes Ryan Coogler, Sean Havey, Erick Peyton, Marissa Torres Ericson, and Ben Cotner.
The film will be released in select theaters and premiere globally on Apple TV+ on Friday, July 21, 2023【5†source】.
