"I think people don't really understand who I am and a lot of that is because of what I let people see and what I don't let them see," says Westbrook in the first-look clip.
Executive produced by Westbrook and co-directed by Emmy(R) Award-winning filmmaker Gotham Chopra (Kobe Bryant's Muse, Shut Up and Dribble), and Emmy Award-winner Erik LeDrew, PASSION PLAY features rare footage and extensive interviews with Westbrook, his family, former teammates Kevin Love and Nick Collison, and more. The documentary follows Westbrook's journey from honor roll student and secondary high school player to singular force that defies his critics. PASSION PLAY reveals a caring and loyal family man who shares the entirety of his deeply rooted personal life, allowing viewers a chance to redefine who they think he is.
PASSION PLAY: RUSSELL WESTBROOK, which extends Showtime Networks' successful partnership with Religion of Sports, was executive produced by Religion of Sports' co-founder Chopra, Ameeth Sankaran and Donnell Beverly. Emmy Award-winner Meg Cirillo from Religion of Sports served as producer and Religion of Sports' Rob Ford served as co-producer along with Raynard Westbrook.
