Seeds of Greenwood will also premiere on Saturday, June 18, at Circle Cinema in Tulsa. On Juneteenth, Sunday, June 19, the full film will be made available online.

Seeds of Greenwood comes one century following the Tulsa Race Massacre, a massacre in which a white mob attacked Black residents and destroyed businesses and households in the Greenwood District in Tulsa. In the film, OKC Thunder Films explores the story of Greenwood and the inaugural class of the Thunder Fellows Program, a program that provides Black youth in Tulsa career opportunities in sports, entertainment, and technology through a curriculum based in data and analytics.

The Thunder have released a two-minute trailer for Seeds of Greenwood, discussing the birth of the Thunder Fellows Program and the story of the program's first class.
