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 - and, of course, it's about basketball.
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 directed by Michael Tolajian and 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.
