Renee Richards ranks among the most controversial professional tennis players of all time, up there with John McEnroe. Richards’ controversy does not, however, stem from her on-court demeanor. Instead, Richards was being asked to take a test to prove that she was genetically a woman, instigating a women-born-women policy for the US Open. Richards was born Richard Raskind, a womanizing opthamologist specializing in correcting eye misalignment. The film follows Richards closely through her daily life and features interviews with Billie Jean King and McEnroe.
The Devotion Project: More Than Ever is the first in a series of short films celebrating the love and devotion shared by same-sex couples.
