King Richard: Tennis Film about Venus, Serena & Richard Williams - Viewing Guide
- PDF
Description
King Richard (2021) follows the journey of a family whose uncompromising commitment ultimately delivers two of the world's greatest sports legends: Serena and Venus Williams. The film gives viewers an interpretation of actual events, using real life footage. It is a portrait of a father who leads his daughters to extend their abilities and talents.
I have created a FILM GUIDE that invites students to move deeper with questions they may have about the movie's big ideas: parenting, goal setting, mentorship, career pathways and coping with successes and failures.
The questions are designed to allow students to sit back and enjoy the film, while offering opportunity while viewing, and after, to record their thinking. Great for generating discussion around nurturing talent.
King Richard offers a towering performance from Will Smith in the title role.
