Win or Go Home - The Championship Series | SIDELINED Chapter 4

In the final chapter the Deakin Melbourne Boomers head to WNBL Championship Series.

Set against the backdrop of the 42nd season in 2021/22 of the Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL) in Australia, the Deakin Melbourne Boomers take their fight beyond the basketball court to overcome gender inequality, lower pay, balancing a sporting career with other work, racial discrimination, and the constant pressure to justify their existence as female athletes in a sporting and societal landscape dominated by men. At stake is not only the opportunity to win their first championship in ten years, but give a voice to these societal issues and make noise in a space which has been quiet for too long.

Leading actors include:
- from USA WNBA stars Lindsay Allen and Tiffany Mitchell
- leading Australian Olympian and WNBA star Ezi Magbegor
- Australian Opals captain Tess Madgen
- Australian Opals star Cayla George
- Head Coach Guy Molloy
- WNBL veteran Carly Ernst who returns from birth of her first child midseason
- Australian trailblazer Michele Timms

Sidelined aims to effect positive change and redefine the narrative around what is possible for women on a broader societal level. Strong, powerful, confident, vulnerable, accessible, humble, motivated – these are but some of the words which describe the cast, and the vision of this series is to spotlight their qualities in their rawest and most authentic form through unrestricted access.

This series engages beyond the existing WNBL and basketball fanbase: we believe the stories we have captured are compelling enough to touch those who have yet to watch the game or support women's sport. This is where the real opportunity lies. This series will not change our collective minds on its own, however we believe it can be an important piece and inspire many to do more, think differently, and support women. This can only be achieved by gaining a greater understanding through hearing the untold stories of our players and their journeys.

If you think women’s pro basketball has “made it” — watch this first.

The four episodes will be released on The 6th Woman Basketball Channel each Friday thru March.
