About the Screening

Watch a on-demand screening presentation of ESPN's 30 for 30, followed by a panel conversation with producer Carolyn Hepburn, producer Marquis Daisy, Director of Boo-Yah: A Portrait of Stuart Scott, Andre Gaines, moderated by DEADLINE’s Matthew Carey, and available for 7 days on IDA's Eventive platform starting June 4, 2026. 

From iconic triumphs to hidden narratives, 30 for 30 blends rich storytelling with cultural context — exploring how sports intersect with politics, race, identity, and the human spirit. Each film captures the drama, emotion, and impact of sports beyond the scoreboard.
