Nic Autostraddle I enjoyed watching it 1) because of its timing, as you said, and 2) because while I knew the broad strokes of the W’s involvement with Say Her Name, Black Lives Matter, and Senator Warnock’s eventual election... Jun 18, 2024 Full Review Natalie Autostraddle There’s definitely a sense of “we’re not new to this, we’re true to this” that comes along with watching this doc… Jun 18, 2024 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media Power of the Dream gives viewers a behind-the-scenes overview of the influential activism of professional female basketball players, including their pivotal role in getting Raphael Warnock elected to the Senate, an election with national repercussions. Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht Makes a fine corollary to the pretend version of the WNBA that many sports media voices have created in their heads. Rated: 4/5 Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Carla Renata The Curvy Film Critic Wonderfully inspiring story of how the WNBA flipped the Senate, got a 83% raise and spoke up and out becoming women activists who no longer would be silent and sit on the sidelines of justice Jun 20, 2024 Full Review Kate Bove Screen Rant Dawn Porter's ambitious, must-watch documentary about the change-making players of the WNBA is both remarkably timely and profoundly timeless.

Grace R I watched this documentary because Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird talked to us about it on a Zoom call organized by answerthecall2024 dot com. We're looking for more folks to join the next call and get involved! I loved, loved the documentary. It was deeply emotional and showed how strong and brave the WNBA players were in fighting for justice and making real changes. I was so overwhelmed at the time; I didn't know any of this was happening until we were all shocked to see Georgia turn blue! It was inspiring to see athletes use their voices to stand up for what’s right and make a difference and see how much work went into making that change a reality. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
