Gonzaga: The Slipper Still Fits

Mark Few arrives in Spokane to film a documentary about a basketball team that has spent twenty years trying to relive its one legendary moment. The camera follows Coach Few, his current players, and alumni who still define their lives by the 1999 Cinderella run. This 2026 documentary examines the phenomenon of a sports Cinderella—a team whose single flash of glory forever alters its destiny. It’s a story less about winning and more about the burden of legacy, about how to move forward when your peak is decades behind you. The filmmaker captures practices, games, and candid conversations, revealing how a myth continues to shape the present. The film shows how fame can be both a blessing and a curse for a small university.
