James’ upcoming documentary for HBO Sports slamming the NCAA for exploiting college athletes.
The film, entitled “Student Athlete,” debuts Tuesday, October 2 at 10 p.m. ET, and will showcase “the complex rules of amateur athletics in America and how they affect uncompensated athletes and their families.” It’s directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (HBO’s Oscar® winners “Saving Face” and “A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness”) and Trish Dalton (“Bordering on Treason”). James serves as executive producer.
From HBO’s press release:
Unpaid college athletes generate billions of dollars for their institutions every year.
