Steph Curry Sets Documentary ‘Sentenced’ at Peacock
The project, which also counts his wife Ayesha Curry as a producer, is filmed from the point of view of people who never learned how to read.
NBA Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has set another project at NBCUniversal’s Peacock, and this one is personal.
Curry and his wife Ayesha Curry are producing a new documentary called Sentenced for the streaming service, “an immersive and vulnerable exploration of the epidemic of childhood illiteracy through a series of braided character driven stories.”
Each story is filmed from the point of view of a different person who never learned how to read.
Literacy is an issue that the Currys have tackled through their Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation. The documentary will bring more awareness to the issue, and the impact it can have on children and families.
“Nothing is more foundational, or more important to a child’s success in life than the ability to learn and love to read,”
Stephen and Ayesha Curry said in a statement.
“When that is missing, you take away the opportunity for an individual to meet their full potential, which is what is displayed in Sentenced.
We’re grateful for the group of filmmakers and activists involved in this film who share a common goal of promoting literacy and changing these outcomes and inequities that exist.”
