Former NFL’er and executive producer Michael Strahan debuted his new docu-series, ‘The Religion of Sports’ at the first Tribeca TV Festival in New York City alongside his partner Gotham Chopra, to a crowd of journalists and sponsors at the Cinépolis Chelsea this past weekend.
When Gotham Chopra approached Michael Strahan about the project at a meeting in Los Angeles, Strahan was on board and said about the religion of sports and its similarities, “Wow, I never looked at it in this way and its such an interesting take.” Chopra, the son of Deepak Chopra, told The Knockturnal, “Spreading the message of these organizations that gives people a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives in important.” The Audience Network will air the six week series on Nov.15 highlighting the refugee kids not having an opportunity to live a “normal” life due to the daily fear of being deported back to war torn countries. This series is a thought provoking documentary that we all can relate to.
