Set against the backdrop of the Reagan era, under the Californian sunshine, Sweet Santa Barbara

Brown is a compelling short film that skillfully weaves elements of celebrity, racial tension, and lifeor-death decisions.

Inspired by actual events, this narrative unfolds in the 80's when members of the Globetrotters

find themselves at the mercy of the Santa Barbara Police Department. The players were

wrongfully suspected of a jewelry store robbery earlier in the day, resulting in a harrowing

standoff.

Intriguing and thought-provoking, Sweet Santa Barbara Brown offers a fictionalized retelling of an

all-too-familiar American narrative – one that delves into the repercussions of law enforcement

mistakes that can have fatal consequences. This gripping short film explores the complexities of

justice, prejudice, and the high-stakes decisions that define a critical moment in history.
