II Year Lettorato Inglese -- Group 2E (Peterson-More) -- DOCUMENTARY FILM

Dear students,
The documentary I mentioned in class yesterday about state-sponsored doping Russia is called Icarus. It is available on Netflix.

Below is brief introduction taken from Wikipedia

"Icarus is a 2017 American documentary film by Bryan Fogel, which chronicles Fogel's exploration of the option of doping to win an amateur cycling race and happening upon a major international doping scandal when he asks for the help of Grigory Rodchenkov, the head of the Russian anti-doping laboratory.^[2] It premiered at Sundance Film Festival on January 20, 2017, and was awarded the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award (Orwell Award)."
