Per Stadium:
"Rose's story is one of survival - through violence, poverty and injury - the one time heir to Michael Jordan's iconic throne has never forgotten where he came from as he continues to search for his own inner peace."

Ahead of the film's debut, Stadium will be airing a pair of games from Rose's high school career starting at 3pm ET on April 11. Additionally, the film will be bookended by pre and post-shows featuring interviews with guests and other film-related topics.
