A documentary feature from ESPN Films and scripted series development with ABC Signature are in the works, and she will sit down for her first exclusive interview with ABC News&#8217; Robin Roberts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The last two years have been the most harrowing, transformative and illuminating period of my life, and I am grateful to be in a place now to share my story with the world,&#8221; said Brittney Griner. &#8220;I&#8217;m proud to partner with ESPN and Disney to share this very personal story because of its incredible potential to inspire hope around the world and their proven ability to do just that.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-3233564862\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Throughout BG&#8217;s detainment and in the time since, ESPN, ABC, and Disney were supportive and caring in regards to the human side of this saga,&#8221; said Brittney&#8217;s wife, Cherelle Griner, who will also serve as an executive producer on the projects. &#8220;Love and family were at the center of the fight to get BG home, and with that in mind, there is no better, more trusted partner to tell that story with us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The documentary from ESPN Films will chronicle Griner&#8217;s transcendent story. In February 2022, while returning to her Russian team, UMMC Ekaterinburg, during the WNBA off-season, Griner was arrested at a Moscow airport for cannabis possession and later sentenced to nine years in prison. Despite outcries from the international sporting community and designation by the U.S. government as wrongfully detained, Griner was held under harsh conditions and prevented from speaking with her family for nearly a year. From the circumstances that led to her playing outside the U.S. despite being one of the best players in the sport to her harrowing detainment and the unwavering determination to secure her freedom, as well as her subsequent advocacy for the release of other wrongful detainees, the documentary will feature exclusive footage, recordings and letters to and from Griner during her time in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Griner&#8217;s longtime agent Lindsay Kagawa Colas (EVP Talent, Wasserman and The Collective) and Brillstein&#8217;s Jon Liebman (co-CEO, Brillstein) will serve as executive producers on behalf of Wasserman&#8217;s production company. Cherelle Griner will also serve as an executive producer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Brittney is an exceptional athlete whose hardship and resilience are nothing short of extraordinary,&#8221; said Burke Magnus, president, Content, ESPN. &#8220;We are thrilled to be working with her to tell the nuances of her story and feel confident that this documentary will captivate audiences everywhere.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-4152352347\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Colas and Liebman stated: &#8220;BG is a hero &#8211; across sport, culture and humanity.
