Summary
By 1955, the University of Kansas in Lawrence had become well-known nationally in part because James Naismith, the inventor of the now-popular sport of basketball was its original coach. His protégé, the flamboyant Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, was renowned as the Father of Basketball Coaching, the man responsible for getting the game into the Olympics, and the brains behind the 1952 NCAA National Championship team. It was only natural that the greatest players would be interested in donning a KU Jayhawk jersey. Directed by Oscar-winner Kevin Willmott (BlacKkKlansmen), JAYHAWKERS tells the powerful fable of how a small group of unlikely allies modernized college sports and changed a small Midwestern town, serving as a parallel to the Civil Rights movement that would transform an entire American society
