Robin Roberts' documentary on Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt to premiere on Hulu Robin Roberts, a co-anchor for "Good Morning America," announced the release of a documentary chronicling the life of legendary basketball coach Pat Summitt. The film, titled "Breaking Glass: The Pat Summitt Story," will debut on Hulu on March 25, with additional airings on ESPN2 and ESPN on March 29 and April 5. Roberts, who has long been a close friend of Summitt, will serve as the documentary’s executive producer. Summitt, who coached the University of Tennessee Lady Vols from 1974 to 2012, amassed an impressive career, including 1,098 wins and seven national championships. Her relationship with Roberts began in 1987, when Summitt secured her first national title with the Lady Vols. At the time, Roberts was a sports anchor in Nashville, and the two quickly became collaborators in their respective fields. Over the years, their bond deepened as Summitt continued to dominate the sport, while Roberts rose to prominence in broadcasting. The documentary will highlight Summitt’s remarkable journey, including her battle with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, which was diagnosed in 2011, and her passing in 2016 at age 64. Tyler Summitt, Pat’s son, expressed his gratitude for Roberts’ role in bringing his mother’s story to life. “As I was growing up, Robin was like a family member,” Tyler told Knox News. “There’s nobody better to tell my mom’s story than Robin Roberts. I’m grateful to her for making this happen and her commitment to honoring my mom’s legacy.” Roberts has been a significant presence in Tyler’s life since his mother’s death. He described her as a mother figure, noting that she sent gifts to their home when their children were born. “Our kids call her Aunt Robin,” Tyler said.#hulu #pat_summitt #robin_roberts #trilogy_films #dawn_porter
