It features interviews with the sneaker\u2019s namesake, NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan, as well as Quincy Jones, Spike Lee, Lena Waithe, Carmelo Anthony, Chuck D and Phil Knight among others. The doc is produced by Deboree and Stef Fink.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSneaker fans all over the world remember the thrill of getting their first pair of Air Jordans, and this film explores the story behind the incredible impact of that iconic shoe,\u201d said Heather Moosnick, senior VP of content partnerships at Hulu. \u201cAt Hulu, we\u2019re focused on bringing highly compelling films and series to our viewers that reflect the culture and inspire conversation\u2014and <em>Unbanned: The Legend of AJ1<\/em> is exactly that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jared Goetz, Lionsgate&#8217;s president of North American television distribution, said: \u201cWe were thrilled to get behind Dexton\u2019s captivating film exploring the cultural phenomenon of the AJ1. With Hulu\u2019s longstanding commitment to premium quality content, we\u2019ve found the perfect partner to launch this film.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deboree added: \u201cI\u2019m excited for the world to witness a story that breaks some rules and explores some new ground in expressing a tale as remarkable as any great fable we\u2019ve heard or seen before. This film unearths a very powerful story that is beneath a cultural icon to share something that transcends sport, sneakers and the popular zeitgeist of much of what happened\u2014not only with AJ1 and even Michael Jordan himself\u2014but the radical cultural revolution that unfolded in its wake.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hulu, through a deal with Lionsgate, has picked up Air Jordan documentary Unbanned: The Legend of AJ1, which began streaming exclusively on the platform today (February 14).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":12259,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[267,221,3444,3445],"class_list":["post-12258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-hulu","tag-lionsgate","tag-michael-jordan","tag-unbanned-the-legend-of-aj1","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Hulu Premiering Air Jordan Documentary - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/hulu-premiering-air-jordan-documentary\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Hulu Premiering Air Jordan Documentary - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hulu, through a deal with Lionsgate, has picked up Air Jordan documentary Unbanned: The Legend of AJ1, which began streaming exclusively on the platform today (February 14).\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/hulu-premiering-air-jordan-documentary\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-02-14T15:54:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-02-14T22:00:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/unbanned-hulu-0219.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"466\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"350\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/hulu-premiering-air-jordan-documentary\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/hulu-premiering-air-jordan-documentary\/\",\"name\":\"Hulu Premiering Air Jordan Documentary - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-02-14T15:54:35+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-02-14T22:00:03+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/hulu-premiering-air-jordan-documentary\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/hulu-premiering-air-jordan-documentary\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/hulu-premiering-air-jordan-documentary\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Hulu Premiering Air Jordan Documentary\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
