“Stephen Curry: Underrated,” the new documentary chronicling the rise of the Golden State Warriors megastar, will kick-off the festival with two screenings at the historic Grand Lake Theatre in Oakland on April 13, organizers announced on Monday.
The movie documents Curry’s journey from undersized and underrecruited guard at Davidson College to four-time NBA champion and face of the Warriors’ dynasty. It specifically includes footage of the team’s most recent NBA title last season, which Curry said was the most meaningful he’s won. “Underrated” was produced by acclaimed filmmaker, Academy Award nominee and Oakland native Ryan Coogler, who directed both “Black Panther” movies, “Creed” and “Creed II,” and “Fruitvale Station.”
