LeBron James school to be subject of film
Documentary will focus on successes, struggles and endeavours of students at the school
An Ohio school backed by NBA star LeBron James will be the subject of a feature-length documentary.
The Akron Beacon Journal reports the Akron Public Schools has approved a deal with a New York City production company to document the first year of the I Promise School. The school opened in July in James’ hometown and is a partnership between the school district and the LeBron James Family Foundation.
The district approved the agreement this week with Blowback Productions for a documentary that will focus on the successes, struggles and endeavours of students at the school.
I Promise is designed to help at-risk children with a curriculum focused on science, technology, engineering and math.
James, who was formerly with the Cleveland Cavaliers, now plays for the Los Angeles Lakers.
