Give and Go: The double movement of "Shut Up and Dribble"

In a commentary for the LA Review of Books, Mary Armstrong Meduski '80 Assistant Professor Samantha N Shephard launches a critique of the recent SpringHill Entertainment documentary, "Shut Up and Dribble". The documentary focuses on NBA athletes' historical relationship with civil rights issues and the power dyanmics of the league today. Sheppard, an expert in Black cultural production and production culture, criticizes the film's overly simplistic narrative of social change; one that omits women and other marginalized figures such as victims of HIV.
