Former WNBAer Sue Bird is the focus of a new documentary, Sue Bird: In the Clutch, focusing on her historic career.
www.sportsbusinessjournal.comHere’s the latest I can gather about Sue Bird and the documentary In the Clutch.
- The documentary Sue Bird: In the Clutch focuses on Bird’s 21-year career, her impact off the court, and her advocacy, and it has been widely covered around Sundance and on streaming platforms since its release in 2024. This coverage highlights her work on women’s sports storytelling and labor rights in the WNBA.[2][3]
- Early chatter and reviews in 2024 framed the film as a formative profile that includes her coming out story and her broader social impact, not just basketball highlights.[6][9][2]
- Related media appearances and interviews around its release show Bird discussing retirement moments, career reflections, and her ongoing efforts to expand opportunities for women in sports, as well as her production ventures with Megan Rapinoe.[1][3][7]
If you’d like, I can narrow this to:
- Availability by platform (Apple TV, Netflix, VOD) for In the Clutch.
- Key interview quotes or themes from the documentary.
- Critical reception and notable testimonials from press.
