Program Description
An unforgettable, epic saga over twelve years in the making, Rick Derby's two-hour documentary ROCKS WITH WINGS traces the journey of Coach Jerry Richardson, an African American high school basketball star from Texas, and the Lady Chieftains, a women's high school basketball team from the small, impoverished Navajo community of Shiprock, New Mexico. 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 - for the players, the coach and the Navajo community.
