Bluegrass Kingdom:
The Gospel of Kentucky Basketball premiered on Sunday March 17th. It was written and directed by Mike
Tolajian for Turner Sports and truTV.
The film tells the tale of the University of Kentucky basketball
program, and in Tolajian's words, "arguable the most successful (and most
controversial) college hoops program in history."
The film
features original interviews with Joe B. Hall, Pat Riley, Ashley Judd, Cliff
Hagan, Kenny “Sky” Walker, Derek Anderson and more. The documentary also features a large portion
of archival footage and still photographs from UK Libraries Special
Collections.

One of the
producers, Spencer Wilking said, "Honestly when Mike & I say:
'we couldn't have done it without you,' we really mean it. Without your
assistance and fantastic library our archival images would've suffered
terribly. Almost everything that hadn't been widely seen before came from you
guys -- without the UK Libraries we would've been stuck with the stock visuals
wheeled out with every UK project."
