Well Worth Seeing for a variety of reasons

This is one of the most exceptional documentaries I have seen done. Sports or otherwise. It is a creative concept with the Shakespearean element, but extremely successful not only in implementing it, but in its execution of it.

This documentary is equipped with commentaries, highlight footage, narration and thorough journalism.

The comprehensive coverage of both athletes from youth to present adds to the quality of the work and makes it not only intriguing to follow but memorable as well. An excellent work, well worth seeing in an age where young athletes are so drawn to a variety of temptations.
