Team Foxcatcher (2016) is a documentary about how John du Pont used his money supposedly to help the USA Olympic Wrestling Team by building expensive training facilities on his home property, called 'Foxcatcher'. Dave Schultz, the USA's most successful wrestler at the time, was among the closest friends of John du Pont, defending him when Du Pont's bizarre activities began to cause concern among those living on the 'Foxcatcher' estate. Eventually, Schultz's loyalty to John du Pont would cost him his life.

Disturbing at times

This film did a good job at portraying what went on in this situation. I found it very disturbing how they portrayed his mental state. I recommend while you watch this film you take into account the background music. As I watched it the background sounds helped the point of the scene come across very clearly.
