The newly released documentary, A Radical Act: Renee Montgomery follows the life of WNBA champion Rene Montgomery as she documents her journey from growing up in Sindy, West Virginia, to owning the Atlanta Dream franchise.
I must say, the interest that people have shown in this documentary has surprised me quite a lot. I specifically would like to mention the last screening that was held during this year’s Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival, Montgomery stated to TheWrap. It is, I should not deny it, a great story, when so many people tell about their lives being transformed for the better by that.”
The movie produced by P and G Studios and Uninterrupted and directed by Sandrine Orabona is distributed by Roku Original. It covers Rene’s career from the time she was a part of Minnesota Lynx as a player to when she transitioned into the executive branch within the Women’s National Basketball Association and became a prominent figure within the sport.
We take great pleasure in collaborating with Uninterrupted at P&G Studios again, this time with the aim of developing a powerful message centered on women who are breaking glass ceilings and expanding white space. We felt Renee’s story would complement Mielle’s core values as being a Black founded & women-led beauty brand that has become an official textured haircare partner of the WNBA Eric Austin, Vice President Global Marketing Media Innovation at Procter and Gamble.
Roku, the streaming giant, describes the documentary thus, The life story of Renee which begins in West Virginia, leads her to a National Championship at the University of Connecticut, and then lifting the WNBA championship for Minnesota Lynx is her profession which this documentary focuses on. In addition, it deals with the transition of Renee from an athlete to an official, including what family and community did to build Continue’s integrity as an innovator.
Uninterrupted noted, More Than An Athlete slapped the true meaning of being greater than an athlete’s Renee when she set a milestone in the history of basketball by becoming the sole woman having a minority ownership combined with an executive position for the league with many high school, college and WNBA championships’ shelves full of trophies probably few are those who can.

Montgomery wrote and directed the film alongside James, Carter, Austin, Jamal Henderson, Philip Byron, Stephanie Acevedo, and Kimberly Doebereiner. The film’s co-executive producer is Camille Maratchi.
In the movie, Atlanta holds a significant place for Renee.
We wanted to ensure that this city and its importance to the civil rights struggle as well as to the contemporary black American was also emphasized. This bridge and this overlook are Atlanta through and through, is part of the Atlanta culture. Orabona says so much that the location has appeared in quite a number of music videos and movies for quite a few decades.
We were filming the dramatic and action packed concluding act of the story. I went over a snippet that one of the women Rene and her wife, Sirena Grace, showcased in 2020 and it was quite fascinating. Renee had ngayroon inaorganisa ang Juneteenth pop up block party. I thought the sequence would be easy to edit where there is a cut of the two drumlines and other performers drumming to the same cadence. This is because I was feeling Renee and Sirena’s high strung nervousness and anticipation of what their plans are without forgetting the strong accent of Black Excellence which has already been interwoven into their film, she continued.
Thank you for the phone call. So, she is breaking the records in the way that she addresses the issue of sports commentating and what she does on screen.
