Overview

In the fall of 1993, in his prime and at the summit of the sports world, Michael Jordan walked away from pro basketball. After leading the Dream Team to an Olympic gold medal in 1992 and taking the Bulls to their third consecutive NBA championship the following year, Jordan was jolted by the murder of his father. Was it the brutal loss of such an anchor in his life that caused the world’s most famous athlete to rekindle a childhood ambition by playing baseball? Or some feeling that he had nothing left to prove or conquer in basketball? Or something deeper and perhaps not yet understood?

A meditative exploration of Michael Jordan's bewildering departure from basketball at his peak, tracing the psychological and emotional undercurrents beneath one of sports' most perplexing decisions. It's as much a portrait of grief and restlessness as it is a sports documentary.
