Imagine entering a sports competition where no one like you has ever participated before. At Fisk University, a group of determined young Black women overcame obstacles to establish the first HBCU women's collegiate gymnastics team in 2023.

The documentary "Flipped," directed by Deborah Riley Draper, chronicles their journey from inception to a bittersweet end three years later. Despite facing challenges like limited resources, the team's story of resilience and success is a remarkable sports narrative that deserves attention.

Produced by Robin Lyon and Coffee Bluff Pictures, "Flipped" is the inaugural project of Baller Alert Films. The mission was clear from the start: ensure these trailblazing women receive the recognition they deserve on a platform tailored for their audience.

Partnership with BET

BET serves as the platform for "Flipped," a fitting choice given the longstanding friendship and collaboration between Baller Alert and BET. This partnership highlights the importance of supporting stories that resonate with diverse audiences.

Kim Paige's swift approval of the project underscores the significance of unwavering support in showcasing impactful narratives. "Flipped" will be available for streaming on BET.com and the official BET YouTube channel on 4/7. Join in to witness and share the well-deserved recognition of these remarkable women.
