Dražen Petrović, one of the greatest European basketball players of all time, and a pioneer for Europeans to the NBA, shines once again in this special mini-documentary filmed by TRT World’s Semra Hunter. At the height of his career, Dražen was tragically killed in 1993 at the age of 28 in a car crash. 24 years later, Semra met with Dražen’s mother in Zagreb for an interview. There, Mrs. Petrovic asked her to help find the friend who was also in the car during accident to ask the woman what her son’s final words were. Semra found the woman - a Turkish-German by the name of Hilal Edebal- and brought the two together for the very first time.
