What is Celtics City about? Plot details
The multipart docuseries will cover the history of the Boston Celtics from the early days of legends Bill Russell, Red Auerbach, and Bob Cousy, through the Civil Rights Movement, to the controversies and rivalries of the greatest NBA team.
The docuseries is directed by Lauren Stowell from Words + Pictures, who was quoted as saying:
"The Celtics are more than a basketball team. They’re a symbol of resilience, unity, and success. While chapters of the team’s story have been told, the full scope of their cultural impact has never been fully explored. Making this documentary was an incredible opportunity to delve into generations of legendary personalities, defining struggles, and extraordinary triumphs that have left a lasting mark not only on the game of basketball, but on the city of Boston and the spirit of America."
Other than Stowell, Bill Simmons, the executive producer of Ringer Films, one of the producers of the docuseries, shared:
"There’s no story quite like the Boston Celtics. Everything went right for 40 years, then nothing went right, then suddenly, things started going right again. But beyond the 18 titles and all the legends and memories, the team’s connection to the city and almost a century of American history was the most compelling piece for us. This story is bigger than basketball, and yet, it’s everything you ever loved about basketball, too."
