Eddie: Cost of Greatness
Premiering nationally on ESPN and released by Lionsgate Films, Eddie: Cost of Greatness explores the life of one of college basketball’s most influential figures. Through rare archival footage and candid interviews, the film traces Sutton’s rise through the college ranks, his struggles with addiction and his eventual sobriety, and the lasting impact he left on generations of players and fans.
Directed and produced by Christopher Hunt, the feature documentary was produced by 1577 Productions. Acclaimed for its honesty and depth — hailed by ESPN’s Myron Medcalf as “one of the best sports documentaries he had ever seen” — the film stands as both a celebration of achievement and an unflinching look at the personal costs of greatness.
