TEAM DREAM

Two elite swimmers (Ann Smith, 82, and Madeline Murphy Rabb, 76) journey to the National Senior Games. TEAM DREAM--a serious contender in the run-up to awards season, this little star of a film flares with unexpected brilliance; capturing imaginations and challenging long-standing assumptions about Black people, swimming, history, current realities, the surprising facts of life (and death), and joy—“Black joy.” Guests: athletes Rabb and Smith, filmmaker Luchina Fisher, and historian Kevin Dawson. This documentary short, TEAM DREAM, was made possible by the Queen Collective—an initiative begun by executive producers Queen Latifah and Procter & Gamble. Their mission: to create opportunities for women filmmakers of color to tell their stories by providing access to mentorship, production support, and distribution. The film was featured at the Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival.
