Serena Williams is a tennis champion and a global icon who has dominated the sport for two decades. She has not only changed the way the game is played but also has had a significant impact on the racial makeup of the pro game. In addition to her tennis success, Williams has emerged as a cultural icon, discussing topics such as body image, working mothers, and more.
Seeing Serena is a captivating documentary that chronicles Williams' return to tennis after giving birth to her daughter. The film takes viewers on a journey from her controversial 2018 US Open final against Naomi Osaka to a 2020 season that unfolded against a backdrop of a pandemic and protests over the killing of Black men and women by the police.
The documentary is written and directed by Gerald Marzorati, a tennis writer for The New Yorker. Marzorati travels to Wimbledon and to Compton, California, where Serena and her sister Venus learned to play. He talks with former womens tennis greats, sports and cultural commentators, and Serena herself. He observes Williams from courtside, on the red carpet, in fashion magazines, and on social media.
The result is an "enlightening... keen analysis" (The Washington Post) and an energetic narrative that illuminates Serena's singular status as the greatest womens tennis player of all time and a Black woman with a global presence like no other.
Throughout the documentary, Marzorati offers a deep and satisfying meditation on Williams' life and career. He explores her upbringing.
Serena Williams is a true icon, and her impact on the world of tennis and beyond is undeniable. Seeing Serena is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates the power of sports to inspire and transform.
