When The Last Dance premiered in April 2020, it immediately gripped viewers in part because the coronavirus pandemic had scuttled all live sports—but also because it was just fascinating. The 10-episode series follows Michael Jordan as he attempts to win his sixth championship ring during his final season with the Chicago Bulls, alongside such larg...
Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk’s harrowing movie is as much a sports documentary as it is a true-crime film. Athlete A tracks the slow unraveling of USA Gymnastics (USAG) as multiple young women came forward with allegations of sexual abuse by team doctor Larry Nassar, who worked for the organization for nearly 20 years before he was caught. USAG is sti...
The title Free Solo refers to the practice of climbing a rock face without a harness, rope, or any other kind of equipment, and yes, it’s as dangerous as it sounds. Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin’s Oscar-winning documentary follows expert climber Alex Honnold as he attempts a free solo climb of Yosemite National Park’s El Capitan, which i...
Despite its nearly three-hour run time, Hoop Dreams is among the documentaries that sports documentarians often cite as one of their inspirations. Steve James’ 1994 classic spotlights two Black teens as they begin playing basketball for an elite program at a predominantly white prep school in the Chicago suburbs. The film follows the two boys for a...
Before I, Tonya brought a fictionalized version of the Tonya Harding story to the big screen, this entry in ESPN’s 30 for 30 series examined the leadup to the infamous attack on Nancy Kerrigan ahead of the 1994 Olympics. The film features an extensive interview with Harding herself, who comes off as a far more complicated human being than the one p...
It feels odd to categorize Ezra Edelman’s Oscar-winning, eight-hour masterpiece as a sports documentary, but it does in fact devote a large chunk of its run time to O.J. Simpson’s careeras a hall-of-fame running back at USC and a record-breaking pro with the Buffalo Bills. That context is also necessary for understanding what happened later—the mur...
While trying to prove that drug screening in sports is insufficient, director Bryan Fogel met with a Russian scientist named Grigory Rodchenkov who helped him come up with a way to test his theory. As the pair became friends, Rodchenkov revealed that he was actually in charge of a state-sponsored doping program for Russia’s Olympic athletes. Fogel ...
The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team’s (USWNT) title-winning performance at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup was impressive by any measure, but it was all the more so because of what was happening off the field: since 2016, the team had been fighting the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) for equal pay. Featuring interviews with Megan Rapinoe, Christen ...
You don’t have to know a single thing about wrestling to appreciate Beyond the Mat, which follows three wrestlers in very different stages of their careers: Terry Funk, who’s thinking about retiring; Mick Foley, a.k.a. “Mankind,” who’s hitting his stride; and Jake “The Snake” Roberts, who’s at a low point. The sport has a reputation for being fake,...
Director Leon Gast spent 22 years finishing When We Were Kings, and many sports fans would say the wait was worth it.
