Documentary on Bynoe/Lee/NBA
Donation protected
Hello Friends,
In 1989 the Denver Nuggets were purchased by Peter Bynoe and Bertram Lee, two African American businessmen and entrepreneurs who made history becoming the first African American owners of a major professional sports team.
I would like to film a documentary about these two men, as well as the role of former NBA Commissioner David Stern in making sure this ownership group were able to purchase the team ... and they got more than they bargained for. Check out these two articles written about their story from Denver Stiffs:

I want to tell this story. I have interviews with multiple people from the time lined up to talk about what happened, the history being made and the fallout.
My estimation of money is based on initial startup costs, paying someone to film and edit, travel costs and more.
