In the segregated, elitist world of 1950s amateur lawn tennis, two outsiders — one an African-American, and the other a Jewish Englishwoman — join forces to dominate centre court and revolutionize the sport. Althea Gibson and Angela Buxton were not only unbeatable doubles partners but lifelong friends and two barrier-breaking female champions. Their example has much to teach us today about overcoming discrimination and transcending personal tragedy. SWEET SPOT explores their climb to the peak of their sport, decline into relative obscurity and coming-to-terms through the power of a singular friendship.

Several years ago, Fred found himself on a mission to explore every California Mission. What started out as a 'geek's road trip' became an examination of his fellow tourists and Mission personnel. Some were experts on the Catholic Church, a few experts on Native American history, and others are experts on everything else. Yet, they all seem to have one thing in common: they are all experts on which extremely famous black person Fred resembles.
