KU basketball had a different sort of atmosphere back in the 1950s. In addition to some Phog, one of the things that changed the weather there was a certain player called Wilt Chamberlain.
On Friday's Up to Date, we talk with local filmmaker Kevin Willmott about his newest movie, Jayhawkers, that takes a look at the Chamberlain era and how it changed KU forever.
Guest:
- Kevin Willmott's films include Planet Negro, C.S.A: Confederate States Of America and The Battle for Bunker Hill. He is an associate professor in film studies at the University of Kansas.
