the mountains. it is a chilly one. 56 in livermore. 59 in san rafael. the accuweather 7 day forecast, level 1 system fading away throughout the next few hours. a cold start. a sunny afternoon, mild days through the middle of the week with very little change. temperatures above average empathy of sun. liz: thank you. we are also counting down to the oscars. an oscar-nominated documentary will be shown in the bay area today and you can hear directly from the director. reporter gloria rodriguez spoke to the director of the film, "the queen of basketball." gloria: the oscar nominated documentary "the queen of basketball" highlights the life of lucia harris. she scored the first basket in women's olympic history, won three national championships in the mid-1970's, and was the only woman officially drafted by the nba.

but her story largely unknown until now. >> i think it is pretty clear that her story was overlooked because she was a woman and the inequity and lack of parity between genders in basketball are stark. the highest-paid wnba player makes less than the lowest paid nba player. it is outrageous is what it is. i also think that race plays a role. she is an african-american woman coming from the mississippi delta and she overcame a lot. gloria: the documentary tackles serious subjects such as her battle with bipolar disorder and not having anywhere to play after college when she was at the top of her career. >> she was a superstar and yet,

the wnba did not exist. there was no place for her to play and it would not exist for another 20 years. that moment when you are following her story, her trajectory, that rocketship that is taking off and then suddenly, there is no more fuel in the tank, i think it is heartbreaking to experience. gloria: harris, turning down the nba, and raising a family. she says she did not regret it because of the incredible success her children have had. the documentary is now nominated for an academy award for best documentary short subject. shaquille o'neal, the executive producer. >> he is extremely funny. he is always joking that he was upset that it is only 22 minutes long and it needs to be longer. he was joking that he was mad at me that it was only a short documentary. at the same time, very reverent

and serious about her story getting out there. gloria: harris, passing away in january at the age of 66. >> she was incredibly involved, incredibly excited about the fact that people were finally reaching out and appreciating her for her story. it was a wonderful thing in her life. i feel grateful that we made the film when we did so we have the story in her words and she lives on in a way in this film and her story will be known and it is becoming known by millions of people. >> i think women's basketball has come of age this week. liz: that was gloria rodriguez. harris was the first black woman inducted into the basketball hall of fame. the film will be shown on sacramento street in san francisco at noon. you can watch it on youtube for free. the creators want to make sure her story is shared with everyone. you can see who takes home oscar gold only on abc7.
