Another sports documentary that misses the point
11 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
After spending endless camera time reviewing the racial injustice of sentencing a promising young black basketball player to prison time for slamming a chair over a woman's head and knocking her unconscious, this long-winded, virtually pointless documentary completely skirts the most compelling piece of information that might help the viewer form an intelligent opinion: this very same basketball player, after being pardoned and going on to a long, hugely profitable professional career, has been involved in numerous other incidents of violence, and has served subsequent prison time for offenses involving drugs, firearms, and more. So if you can't make an honest documentary that delivers all the relevant information, why make a documentary in the first place? I watched this through to the end and pronounce it an utterly unredeemable waste of time.
