The wait is almost over. Get ready to relive the magic of last year’s title chase. Narrated by Al Horford, the documentary provides an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the Celtics’ 2023-24 season, starting with the offseason acquisitions of Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday and culminating in the franchise capturing its record-breaking 18th NBA crown. From preseason training camp all the way to Game 5 of the NBA Finals, experience the Celtics’ historic journey to the NBA mountaintop through the eyes of the players, coaches and team staff who made it happen.

This is one you won’t want to miss.

Playing for the Mob

The story of how mobster Henry Hill - played by Ray Liotta in Martin Scorsese 1990 classic, Goodfellas - helped orchestrate the fixing of Boston College basketball games in the 1978-79 season. The details of that point-shaving scandal are revealed for the first time on film through the testimony of the players, the federal investigators and the actual fixers. Playing For The Mob may be set in the seemingly golden world of college basketball, but like Goodfellas, this is a tale of greed, betrayal and reckoning. Ultimately, they both share the same message: With that much money at stake, you can't trust anybody.

I Hate Christian Laettner

He made perhaps the most dramatic shot in the history of the NCAA basketball tournament. He's the only player to start in four consecutive Final Fours, and was instrumental in Duke winning two national championships. He had looks, smarts and game. So why has Christian Laettner been disliked so intensely by so many for so long? Maybe it was the time he stomped on the chest of a downed player, or the battles he had with his teammates, or a perceived sense of entitlement. But sometimes, perception isn't reality. "I Hate Christian Laettner" will go beyond the polarizing persona to reveal the complete story behind this lightning rod of college basketball. Featuring extensive access to Laettner, previously unseen footage and perspectives from all sides, this film will be a "gloves-off" examination of the man who has been seen by many as the "Blue Devil Himself."
