Christina Norman's Film Heads to Tribeca!

Women’s Forum member Christina Norman, @xtinanorman on instagram, produced a film titled “Game Change Game”, which will be premiering for the first time at the Tribeca Film Festival. With unfettered access to the NBA, “Game Change Game” documents a tumultuous, and at times surreal, basketball season plagued by once unimaginable circumstances. Co-directors Maxime Quoilin and Spike Jordan take us from the NBA bubble to the social uprisings of the Black Lives Matter movement, at a time when the personal could no longer be apolitical.
