Team Dream, the first documentary short from the 2022 Queen Collective program, executive produced by Queen Latifah while directed and produced by Luchina Fisher, an award-winning director, writer, and producer whose work is at the intersection of race, gender, and identity. Fisher’s film follows Ann and Madeline who are 82 and 77 years old, respectively, revealing that nothing – not age, not race, and certainly not Chicago’s notorious weather – will stop them from training for the National Senior Games, where they will likely be the two of the few Black women competing in the swim events.
