STUDENT ATHLETE, feature documentary
Every year billions of dollars are generated off the backs of an unpaid labor force: college athletes.
Student Athlete unveils the exploitative world of high-revenue college sports through the stories of four highly ranked football and basketball players at different stages of their athletic careers, a coach turned advocate, and a whistle-blowing shoe rep ready to expose the money trail.
“This is an incredibly important story about the institutional denial of basic human rights for these student-athletes,” said Maverick Carter, chief executive of SpringHill Entertainment.
