The official trailer for the upcoming documentary film DISGRACED was released today - check it out below! DISGRACED will make its anticipated world premiere at the SXSW® Film Festival on Sunday, March 12 and its television premiere on Showtime on Friday, March 31 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

The revealing documentary chronicles the 2003 murder of Baylor University men's basketball star Patrick Dennehy, to which fellow teammate and friend Carlton Dotson pled guilty in the only known instance in the history of the NCAA where one student-athlete was convicted of murdering another. Through first-hand accounts from students, investigators, family and friends, DISGRACED calls into question the plea and conviction of Dotson.

The film also includes exclusive and revealing interviews with former head coach Dave Bliss, who directly addresses the attempted cover-up and secretly recorded statements he made in 2003 that implicated him in NCAA rule violations. The violations, revealed in part by whistle blower and then assistant coach Abar Rouse, ultimately led to Bliss' resignation and a partial ban on NCAA play for the Baylor Bears basketball team.

A presentation of Showtime Documentary Films and Showtime Sports, DISGRACED is produced and directed by Bat Bridge Entertainment.
