Grateful to have chatted with Helen Russell (not related) during the research phase for this two-part Netflix documentary by Director Sam Pollard!
“Director Sam Pollard strikes a masterful balance between the athlete and activist sides of Russell, who passed away last July at age 88. The two-part Bill Russell: Legend, released by Netflix on February 8th, clocks in at 3 hours 29 minutes. It chronologically documents Russell’s career and uses it to contextualize the major events of the civil rights movement.” (from Celtics Blog Review)
