THE NARRATIVE

A dramatic anthology series - 8 one hour Episodes

1964: Print and radio rule sports journalism, those new-fangled TV shows not yet a threat, but a revolution is coming. A fresh batch of erudite young writers—the likes of George Plimpton, Gay Talese, and Norman Mailer— hone their literary chops on sports writing.

And then Cassius Clay bursts onto the scene, and nothing will ever be the same again.

Writers: Laurie Weltz and Emily Lobsenz

Producer: Sanjit Das
