Netflix has given viewers an inside look at the lives of athletes and major sporting events with original series like Simone Biles Rising, Formula 1: Drive to Survive, Full Swing and Aaron Rodgers: Enigma. Now viewers will be able to watch Team USA, Canada, France and Serbia as they compete for gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Director Jake Rogal shared with Tudum that one of the most powerful moments while making the documentary came when talking to NBA superstar Kevin Durant about his tweets following Team USA's matchup against Serbia. Durant expressed how incredible it was to be playing the sport he loves on such a huge platform: "I looked in the crowd, it’s 27,000 people from all walks of life, all different countries …coming together for basketball,” Durant says in a candid moment in the second episode. “It’s incredible to see that. So as much as I can bring us together that way, that’s what I try to do."
Court of Gold is executive produced by Barack and Michelle Obama and features unprecedented access to the teams as they compete for gold in Paris.
