The nascent Basketball Africa League (Bal), a partnership between the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the International Basketball Federation (Fiba), is set to get its own documentary series.
Fremantle, “True Detective” executive producer Richard Brown and sports marketing company Infront have teamed with the Bal to produce an original documentary series telling the story of its launch and inaugural season.
The Bal is a new professional league featuring 12 teams from across Africa that starts May 16 in Kigali, Rwanda. It marks the NBA’s first collaboration to operate a league outside of North America.
The series will be directed by South African director Tebogo Malope, who directed Netflix’s first African original series “Queen Sono.” It will follow stories of players, coaches and teams from across Africa, spotlighting the ambition behind the pan-African basketball league and the individuals who have worked to change the landscape of sports on the continent through this initiative.
