ESPN Films’ sports docuseries “30 for 30” will launch five new docus this summer.
The upcoming slate features docs about topics including gamer brand FaZe Clan, former track and field superstar Butch Reynolds, and comedy and sports YouTube creator company Dude Perfect.
The summer lineup will launch on June 4 with Kathleen Jayme and Asia Youngman’s “I’m Just Here for the Riot.” About the infamous 2011 Vancouver riot following a Canucks loss to the Boston Bruins during the Stanley Cup final, the film chronicles the event and its aftermath while also raising deeper questions about fandom, violence, and the shocking power of an angry crowd.
The remaining four docus on the slate are: Ismail Al-Amin’s “False Positive,” Justin Staple’s “No Scope: The Story of FaZe Clan,” Jay Caspian Kang’s “American Son,” and Oliver Anderson and Louis Burgdorf’s “Dude Perfect: A Very Long Shot.”

Eleven minutes is all it took Kathleen Jayme to respond to my Twitter Dm.
Last winter, in the middle of production of her newest documentary, “The Grizzlie Truth”, which hopes to explain how the Vancouver Grizzlies left Vancouver, she welcomed a chat but (respectfully) declined an in-person interview due to the workload of the film.
The film has since made its world premiere at the Vancouver International Film Festival earlier this year, and will make its Toronto theatrical debut Dec. 10 at the Ted Rogers Hot Docs Cinema.
When we agreed to speak on the phone, I could tell she was a little hesitant to talk about her upcoming documentary. There was a hint of reservation in her voice.
“Well, yeah, I don’t know much I can say,” she would say whenever I asked for specific details about the film.
“I can say that I spent the past seven, eight years getting the inside scoop,...
