Origin: The Story of the Basketball Africa League is a new documentary executive-produced by Masai Ujiri. It is an in-depth look at the power of sport, as told by the story of the creation of the Basketball League of Africa, set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8th, 2025.
Featuring the voices of people like J. Cole, Steph Curry, Barack Obama, and more, the film celebrates the endeavours of those who made the BAL possible. The film highlights the diversity of Africa, the passion the players and everyone involved with BAL have for the game, and the universal language of basketball.
We are teaming with Giants of Africa to give away 15 pairs of tickets to the premiere of Origin on September 8th. After the screening of the film at 2:30 pm, there will be a live Q&A with Masai Ujiri, BAL President Amadou Gallo Fall, NBA All-Star and BAL Investor Joakim Noah, Origin’s Executive Producer, Writer and co-director Richard Brown, and Origin Executive Producer Akin Omotoso.
To enter the giveaway, all YOU need to do is head to Raptors HQ’s FEED and make a post about your favourite basketball movie and WHY it’s your favourite. 15 people will be selected to receive a FREE pair of tickets for the screening and Q&A on September 8th at TIFF Lightbox in downtown Toronto, courtesy of Giants of Africa.
