The documentary "Sonicsgate" explores the truth behind the Seattle SuperSonics' departure from the city in 2008. The team's 41-year history in Seattle included numerous accolades, but ultimately fell victim to corporate greed and political impotence. The NBA's changing business model, which required new and expensive arenas, and the refusal of Seattle's political leadership to fund a new stadium, led to the team's sale and relocation to Oklahoma City. The documentary features interviews with those involved and serves as a cautionary tale about the fragility of professional sports teams in modern times.
