A well made documentary

The comments below are opinions on the subject of the doc not the craft of the doc. A well made well edited doc.

Everyone has an opinion but it's interesting to see where the industry is at right now and what has shaken it.

I feel the need to review this because i don't care about professional sports

And didn't know the name of any athlete talking in this documentary.

But i got caught by the overall rhythm and editing of it, the director has applied his thriller and action movie model to this effort, and it works.

Then, reading the harsh critics here, i thought important to offer another perspective. Today so many efforts are deployed to deny the gravity of the pandemic or dispute the need for vaccination, i find hearing these guys, however entitled and protected from reality they may be according some reviews, take the issue seriously and not trying some false bravado posture about it, very healthy.
