Rocks with Wings screening and Q&A

Selected date

Saturday November 19

Selected time

6:30 PM  –  9:00 PM

Join us for a special 20th anniversary screening of Rocks with Wings, an inspiring sports documentary that has only grown in relevance since it first aired on PBS in 2002.

ABOUT THE FILM: Rocks with Wings chronicles the journey of the Shiprock Lady Chieftains, a women’s high school basketball team from the small Navajo community of Shiprock, New Mexico and their coach, Jerry Richardson, an African-American high school basketball star from Texas. With intense and at times controversial determination, Richardson molds the shy young women – players who have experienced more defeat than victory – into fighters on the basketball court. What results is an inspirational story about the meaning of winning and losing, set against a complex background of race, heritage, and societal expectations.

Immediately following the screening, Rocks with Wings director Rick Derby will be at the Berkshire Museum’s Little Cinema in-person for a Q&A.

Film runtime: 1 hr, 52 min
