Fascinating Trailer for Netflix Docu-Series UNTOLD Uncovers Sports Greatest Stories
Netflix has released a fascinating trailer for their original documentary Untold, which takes a deep dive into the backgrounds of some of sports greatest stories. From the creators of Wild Wild Country, this five-part series looks deeply at sports stories from tennis to boxing to basketball, uncovering details beyond the headlines you never knew.
Here’s the full synopsis:
From the creators of Wild Wild Country, comes a five-part docuseries event that brings fresh eyes to tales from the wide world of sports. From tennis to boxing to basketball, these stories aren’t the ones you’ve heard before, even if you think you have. Premiering weekly, each film kicks off at a pivotal moment — the big fight, the Olympics, the playoffs — and then delves deep into what happened beyond the headlines, as told by those who lived it, to reveal the grit, resilience, heartbreak, triumph, violence, comedy and pathos beneath the sweat. Whether it’s the famous "Malice at the Palace" Pacers-Pistons brawl finally being unraveled by those who were on the inside, Olympian Caitlyn Jenner reflecting on her journey to winning gold, boxer Christy Martin in the fight of her life outside the ring, professional tennis player Mardy Fish opening up about his struggles with mental health, or a misfit band of hockey players known as the Trashers taking orders from the teenage son of an alleged mob boss, Untold gets to the heart of the passion and single mindedness it takes to be a champion and the ways in which the triumphs can be undone off the field.
This looks like it’s going to be a seriously good series. Check out the trailer and poster below, and watch Untold on Netflix on Tuesdays beginning August 10th.
