"Just in time for another Red Sox playoff run, ESPN's new three-part Red Sox documentary "Believers" is now available for streaming on the ESPN app. The series, which explores faith, heartbreak, and redemption through the lens of the 2004 championship team was co-directed by Gotham Chopra and Lauren Fisher. Chopra, a Boston native and lifelong Red Sox fan, co-founded the media company Religion of Sports with Tom Brady and Michael Strahan. His projects include the 2018 documentary "Tom vs. Time," and the 10-part ESPN+ series "Man in the Arena: Tom Brady", along with "I Am Giant" which featured former Giants receiver and UMass alum Victor Cruz."
"GC: "I am one of those people. But, I would say that I remember watching Faith Rewarded within the weeks that it came out on DVD. I watched Bill [Simmons's] 30 for 30, Four Days in October. I watched all the stuff on Netflix last year. I voraciously consume all that stuff. I love it. It's my life. It's there for me. I'm 50 years old. There's life before 2004 and there's life after 2004. So, the bar was super high, but this wasn't like some analytical decision to make this thing.""
