Real sports fans know that the Boston Celtics are the gold standard for professional franchises. In 78 seasons of NBA basketball, the Green Team has won a record 18 championships, including 10 in the 11 seasons between 1959 and ‘69. 

And the team’s story is not just about basketball: At a time when Boston was earning a reputation as a segregated Northern city, the team became the first in the NBA to field a starting five of all Black players, and first to hire a Black coach. As Max continues its weekly rollout of this groundbreaking documentary series, we’re excited to welcome director Lauren Stowell to talk about her monumental nine-part undertaking.
