Following its world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival, the Jeremy Lin short documentary film 38 at the Garden, directed by Frank Chi and produced by Oscar-winning filmmakers Travon Free and Samir Hernandez (“Two Distant Strangers”), will debut on HBO this fall.
38 at the Garden chronicles the extraordinary ascendance of point guard Jeremy Lin during his landmark 2012 season with the New York Knicks. Lin, an un-drafted Harvard graduate, shocked fans, stunned his teammates and galvanized the Asian American community when he scored 38 points at Madison Square Garden against the Los Angeles Lakers, solidifying Lin’s hot streak and the “Linsanity” craze.
A decade later, Lin’s stature as a groundbreaking, cultural icon stands in stark relief to the recent hate crimes against the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) community.
38 at the Garden recognizes a pivotal moment in time for Lin, and celebrates a phenomenon that was bigger than basketball for the world.
