ICARUS: film review

ByLynn Friedman

WHO IS ICARUS?
In Greek mythology, Icarus, wearing wings of feathers and wax flew too near the Sun, melting his wings, and well, you know the rest.

ICARUS, THE DOCUMENTARY:
Director Bryan Fogel danced with fate, flew towards the sun and survived, barely.
Fogel started out documenting his experiment with performance-enhancing drugs and accidentally stumbled upon a real life global political scandal involving Russian conspiracies, the World Anti-Doping Agency, the International Olympic Committee, mysterious deaths and an unlikely whistleblower.

Bryan Fogel is a very, very brave man.

MUST-SEE:
Mind-blowing is an understatement. This riveting true drama stays with you for a long time, possibly a lifetime.

Icarus is available for screening on Netflix.
