Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry will now be producing a documentary. First reported by Variety. Here is some description on the documentary.
Viola Davis and Stephen Curry have signed on as executive producers of “Emanuel,” a documentary about the 2015 mass murder of black churchgoers by a white supremacist.
Unanimous Media, the production company of NBA superstar Curry, and Viola Davis and Julius Tennon’s JuVee Productions join as executive producers of the film alongside Dane Smith, David Segel and Tina Segel.
“Emanuel” documents the events of June 17, 2015, when 21-year-old Dylann Roof walked into a bible-study group at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., and shot and killed nine African-Americans during their closing prayer.
Directed by Brian Ivie (“The Drop Box”), the documentary is produced by John Shepherd, Mike Wildt and Dimas Salaberrios. “Emanuel” was made in direct partnership with the city of Charleston and all 10 affected families, featuring interviews with survivors and family members. Producers describe the film as “a poignant story of justice and faith, love and hate, and the healing power of forgiveness.”
Stephen Curry also made the announcement on Twitter.

It will be pretty cool to see what Stephen Curry can do producing movies. We have seen many NBA superstars past and present go and produce movies and documentaries, or even be in them.
It'll be cool to see if this is something that Stephen Curry does outside of movies and starts to make documentaries and television shows like Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has been doing for a while now.
This is an interesting project Stephen Curry will be doing and one I am sure will be worth watching.
