Synopsis:

In the crime-riddled city of Newark, New Jersey, facing adversity and overcoming obstacles is just part of the daily experience for most students at St. Benedict’s Prep. But headmaster Father Edwin Leahy, a man known for his groundbreaking and unconventional approach toward education, has turned this school into a safe haven for the young men who walk its halls - at St. Benedict’s, much of the decision-making rests with the students themselves, a tactic designed to empower the mostly black and Hispanic student body.

Nominated for an NAACP Image Award, Benedict Men is a docu-series from executive producer and basketball superstar Stephen Curry, Whistle Studios, and Emmy-award winning documentarian Jonathan Hock, that follows the boys' basketball team at St. Benedict's Preparatory School as they work toward a 2018-19 state high school championship. However, injuries, egos, and fierce competition threaten to derail their dream. Can they stick together and win it all?
