Story
Q Ball is the story of The Warriors - San Quentin Penitentiary's inmate basketball team. It's a film about pain, loss, transformation and redemption - a film about men taking ownership of their past and responsibility for their future.
Over the course of six years, heist built trust with San Quentin inmates, guards and administrators, eventually enabling the first feature-length documentary shot inside the penitentiary.
Q Ball was co-produced with NBA legend Kevin Durant, Fox Sports and Hunting Lane Films. It premiered on Fox Sports and was subsequently made available on Netflix.
