Set against the backdrop of the 42nd season of the Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL), the Melbourne Boomers take their fight beyond the basketball court to overcome gender inequality, lower pay, balancing a sporting career with other work, and the constant pressure to justify their existence as female athletes in a sporting and societal landscape dominated by men. At stake is not only the opportunity to win their first championship in ten years, but give a voice to these societal issues and make noise in a space which has been quiet for too long. 

We have secured seed funding of $20,000 from Deakin University which has enabled us to commence pre-production and production of the series. We still require a further $60,000 for completion of production and the extensive post-production which will see the series ready for release.
