The first viewing of Tracy McGrady's documentary on his 2007 trip to Darfur refugee camps in Chad, was a great success.
The film shows McGrady grow from naive and arrogant to educated and motivated after visiting refugees from the genocide in Darfur.
McGrady along with six others made the trip in August 2007 traveling and visiting the camps for six days filming what they encountered and the stories the refugees told.
“The most important thing is the message,” McGrady said. “That all we want from this film, to get the message out and get people to want to get involved.”
There are ongoing talks with groups like CAA to distribute the film to cable television and to film festivals. Along with the film, McGrady and Derek Fisher are trying to recruit other NBA players for the “Darfur Dream Team Sister School Program” to help raise money for the schools that McGrady wants to build in the refugee camps.
