Catching Hell: "Oscar-winner Alex Gibney 'brilliantly' explores the phenomenon of scapegoating through the lens of two infamous moments in sports history: Steve Bartman's ill-fated incident and Boston Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner's fateful error."--ContainerCharismatic: "Together, an unlikely colt named Charismatic and his jockey, Chris Antley, became the biggest long shots in 59 years to win the Kentucky Derby, followed by another win at the Preakness. In June 1999, seconds away from becoming the first Triple Crown winner in 21 years, tragedy struck."--ContainerThe Fab Five: "One of the most famous - and infamous - teams in college basketball history, Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson arrived at the University of Michigan in the fall of 1991 and electrified the game."--ContainerHerschel: "A three-time All-American and Heisman Trophy winner, Herschel Walker is a college football legend. His journey off the field, though, has been filled with struggle and pain. Now a mental health advocate, this is the story of Herschel's healing and redemption."--ContainerRenée: "The intriguing story of Renée Richards, who battled to enter the 1977 U.S. Open as the first transgender tennis player. Through interviews with friends, family and tennis legends, this fascinating film chronicles Renée's surprising and affecting human story."--Container
