“Breaking Glass: The Pat Summitt Story” Coming Soon To ESPN & Hulu
Disney has announced details on a brand new documentary called “Breaking Glass: The Pat Summitt Story”, which is coming soon to Hulu and ESPN.
Pat Summitt, the Hall of Fame women’s basketball coach who made history and inspired generations of women, is the subject of a new documentary. With the intimacy of a biopic built on never-before-seen archival footage and set against the world of sports, the film profiles the extraordinary women’s college basketball coach who forever changed the game, and whose boundary-breaking career impacted far beyond the court.
Featuring firsthand interviews with those who knew her best, including fellow coaches, players, family and friends, as well as rare interviews with Summitt herself, alongside Billie Jean King, Peyton Manning, Dawn Staley, Tamika Catchings and others, the film underscores how her influence extended far beyond the basketball court, shaping generations of athletes and redefining leadership in women’s sports. From her upbringing on a Tennessee dairy farm, where humble beginnings forged the toughness that defined her career, to her record-setting run at the University of Tennessee, the film chronicles both her triumphs and the profound challenges she faced, including her diagnosis with Alzheimer’s disease.
“I am grateful to Rock’n Robin Productions, Trilogy Films, Tribeca Studios, and ABC News Studios for making this happen,” said Tyler Summitt, son of Pat Summitt and co-founder of the Summitt Mindset. “Robin was one of my mom’s closest friends, and there is nobody my family trusts more to lead this project.”

The film is directed by Dawn Porter and produced by Clare Smith Marash for Trilogy Films. Robin Roberts and Reni Calister serve as executive producers for Rock’n Robin Productions and Berry Welsh and Jane Rosenthal for Tribeca Studios.
