ESPN’s 30 for 30 broke the formula of sports documentaries by enlisting independent filmmakers. Now the series celebrates its 15th anniversary. Pure Nonfiction host Thom Powers recently moderated a live conversation at the DGA Theater in New York City to look at three new 30 for 30 titles. We hear from:
- The Luckiest Guy in the World director Steve James and producer Marquis Daisy
- Minister of Defense directors Ken Rodgers and Courtland Bragg
- The Great Heisman Race of 1997 producer Carolyn Hepburn
- ESPN Films executive producer Marsha Cooke
