Former Marquette basketball guard and NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade is part of a group involved in producing the upcoming film “A Most Beautiful Thing,” which tells the story of an all-black rowing team from the West Side of Chicago.
Wade works with producers including former NBA star Grant Hill, recording artist and actor Common, who also narrates the film, and director Mary Mazzio, a grammy-winning producer and Olympic rower. Wade and Common are both from Chicago, something they are both very proud of.
The film is based on the self-published memoir of Arshay Cooper, one of the nine members of the rowing team who is interviewed in the film.
