‘Women of Troy’
HBO Sports documentary Women of Troy is here just in time for March Madness. Directed by Alison Ellwood (American Jihad), the hourlong doc explores the legendary University of Southern California women’s basketball team of the 1980s, led by superstar Cheryl Miller. Miller and her teammates won back to back championships in 1983 and 1984, but more importantly, they transformed the entire sport: the USC Trojans’ meteoric rise helped bring women’s basketball into the mainstream, and their success ultimately led to the formation of the WNBA a decade later.
