“Everyone in the sports world, wake up! The women of the W: they have been here, they are here, and they are not going away,” Executive Producer Terri Carmichael Jackon says directly into the camera. Shattered Glass: A WNBPA Story newest documentary on Tubi directed by up-and-comer Andrea Buccilla and produced by Malka Media Group LLC, in partnership with the Women’s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) and PUMA. Additional support was provided by Crown Royal Regal Apple. The film explores the busy, personal lives of basketball superstars Nneka Ogwumike (president of the WNPA), Jonquel Jones, and Breanna Stewart, and WNBA legend, Sheryl Swoopes. Shattered also follows Ogwumike and Jackson as the Players Association tries to negotiate fairer contracts for the female athletes. The film advocates for betting on women, from the stars of the WNBA to the all-women development, production, and direction team.

On the purple carpet, the MVPs shared what it was like filming the documentary. The most difficult parts were working around the players busy schedules, and allowing the camera crew into their personal lives. At times uncomfortable, Ogwumike shared that women athletes “superpower” is their ability to open up and show the fans their personal lives. Buccilla also mentioned the importance of maintaining the same camera crew when filming in the players homes, to make people like Stewart’s young daughter Ruby the most comfortable as possible. When asked about the importance of telling the WNBPA story now, Jones felt it was time to raise awareness of the lack of support for the WNBA and how the Players Association is working to change that.
