The Lot: The Story of Ultimate Frisbee: Donate

Help The Lot Get to a Rough Cut!

Welcome to The Lot -- the birthplace of ultimate frisbee and the title of this feature documentary.

THE LOT tells the story of 57 years of ultimate frisbee as an outsider sport. From its curious birth to its status today, ultimate remains an elusive endeavor. Neither varsity nor amateur, the inclusive, egalitarian principles of ultimate have carried across generations and remain at the forefront today. But at what cost?
