SAN JOSE, Calif. — June 12, 2024 — Today, Roku, America's #1 TV streaming platform*, picked up "A Radical Act: Renee Montgomery," an inspirational feature documentary about Renee Montgomery, the first former WNBA player to be both a co-owner and executive of a WNBA team.

加州聖何塞——2024年6月12日——今天，Roku，美國第一電視流媒體平台*，收購了《A Radical Act: Renee Montgomery》紀錄片，這是一部關於Renee Montgomery的鼓舞人心的紀錄片，她是第一位既是WNBA球員又是WNBA隊伍的共同擁有者和高管的前WNBA球員。影片由UNINTERRUPTED和P&G Studios製作，由艾美獎得主Sandrine Orabona執導。
Renee Montgomery is a two-time WNBA Champion, sports broadcaster, and activist who is currently co-owner and vice president of the Atlanta Dream. This new feature documentary is an intimate portrait of Renee and the experiences that formed her character, from growing up in West Virginia to winning a national title at the University of Connecticut, then going on to capture two WNBA titles with the Minnesota Lynx. The documentary follows Renee's transition from player to front office and reflects how family and community helped turn Renee's integrity into a game changer. Renee will preview select clips from the feature at the 27th Annual American Black Film Festival in Miami, Fla. on June 14.
Renee Montgomery是兩屆WNBA冠軍、體育廣播員和活動家，目前是亞特蘭大夢想隊的共同擁有者和副總裁。這部新的特色紀錄片是Renee的一個親密肖像，講述了她的人物特徵的經歷，從她在西弗吉尼亞州長大到在康涅狄格大學贏得全國冠軍，然後又在明尼蘇達林克斯隊奪得兩個WNBA冠軍。這部紀錄片跟隨Renee從球員到前臺的轉變，反映了家庭和社區如何將Renee的正直變成遊戲的改變者。Renee將在6月14日的邁阿密美國黑人電影節上預覽該特輯的部分片段。
"Our growing lineup of premium original sports programming takes audiences to the center of the action of their favorite leagues and gives viewers intimate access to the athletes at the heart of the game," said Joe Franzetta, Head of Sports, Roku Media, and Sean Boyle, Roku Originals. "We're proud to partner with best-in-class production and brand partners The SpringHill Company and P&G Studios to bring 'A Radical Act: Renee Montgomery' to millions of viewers."

"The UNINTERRUPTED team has always been a fan of Renee Montgomery on the court. There are few athletes who have championships under their belt in high school, college, and the WNBA. But when Renee became the first former WNBA player to hold a team ownership stake and an executive role with the league, she immediately became the epitome of our 'More Than an Athlete' mantra," said Camille Maratchi, Vice President of Unscripted and Documentaries, The SpringHill Company. "We cannot wait for folks to get an up-close-and-personal look at what it takes to re-imagine a professional sports team."
“UNINTERRUPTED團隊一直是球場上Renee Montgomery的粉絲，”The SpringHill Company的非編制和紀錄片副總裁Camille Maratchi說。“很少有運動員在高中、大學和WNBA贏得冠軍。但當Renee成爲第一位既擁有團隊所有權股份又在聯盟中擔任高管職務的前WNBA球員時，她立即成爲了我們“不僅僅是運動員”的楷模。我們迫不及待地想讓人們近距離看看如何重新想象職業體育團隊所需的。”

LeBron James, Maverick Carter, Jamal Henderson, Philip Byron, Renee Montgomery, Stephanie Acevedo, Kimberly Doebereiner, and Eric Austin serve as executive producers.
