CHASING THE DREAM

A Limited Documentary Series.

THE PREMISE

The sleeping giant of American sports didn’t just wake up. It was built in the shadows.

Chasing the Dream is a 6-Part limited documentary series that uncovers the hidden history of American Cricket.

Through the lens of the 2006 & 2010 USA U19 Teams—the first generation of home-grown American cricketers, teenagers who dared to compete on the world stage—we trace the explosive evolution of the sport. From playing on baseball diamonds in Queens to the billion-dollar launch of Major League Cricket, this series connects the struggles of the past to the global spectacle of today.

One Team. One Dream. Two Decades in the Making.

CURRENT STATUS: IN PRODUCTION

Host & Executive Producer: Akeem Dodson (Former USA Wicketkeeper)

Format: Limited Series (6 Episodes x 45 Minutes)

We are currently capturing the Interview parts of this story.
