I’m sad to report that RACHEL, BREATHE, will not premiere on ESPN2 today. After several days of negotiation that should have been very simple and were not about money, but rights, the ESPN lawyers stopped talking to us an hour before broadcast and said, “sign it now or we are pulling the show”. I’m extremely disappointed for Rachel and John and entire team that spent 2 years making this film about hope, love and friendship. We remain genuinely excited for the day this documentary reaches the world, it is simply not tonight. And just like Rachel, we remain resilient and the moment I know where and when the premiere is, you will hear from me. And thanks to Dick’s Sporting Goods for fighting the fight. @espn@dickssportinggoods@bostonmarathon
RACHEL, BREATHE tells the miraculous story of marathoner Rachel Foster. It premieres Sunday, April 19th at 7:00pm ET on ESPN2, with an encore airing Monday, April 20th at pm ET on ESPN 2, (immediately following coverage of the 130th Boston Marathon.) @espn@dickssportinggoods@bostonmarathon
