Where THE WAY HOME differs from other Hallmark fare is that it is also […]Read On »

BS HIGH: Filmmakers Travon Free and Martin Desmond Roe on new HBO documentary – Exclusive Interview

BS HIGH Key Art | ©2023 HBO

BS HIGH theoretically stands for Bishop Sycamore High, the institution at the heart of the documentary by filmmakers Travon Free and Martin Desmond Roe. However, the title of the doc, which is now available on HBO and Max, could hardly be more appropriate in the more colloquial sense of “BS.” On August 29, 2021, ESPN televised a high school football game between Bishop Sycamore and the top-ranked-for-football IMG Academy. Bishop Sycamore did so badly, and had so many player injuries, that it wasn’t just a case of a blowout score in favor of IMG; questions arose as to how such […]Read On »
