Genre: Documentary
Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney's documentary about Lance Armstrong, who, after surviving cancer, won the Tour de France seven consecutive times between 1999 and 2005. There were allegations of doping, but the cyclist consistently, forcefully and litigiously countered the claims. So, when Armstrong returned to the fray in 2009, Gibney grabbed the offer of unprecedented access to the maligned Texan's attempt to win the Tour again. His documentary The Road Back was about to be released when the truth of Armstrong's systematic drug-taking broke. Gibney shelved the film for a couple of years, then he transformed it, via interviews with Armstrong's detractors and footage of the cyclist's admissions of guilt, from an upbeat observational piece into something altogether more critical. It's a fascinating study of a monumentally arrogant sportsman's determination to do whatever it took to win and his equal willingness to do or say whatever was necessary to cover up his less savoury actions.
