Icarus is a fascinating documentary by Bryan Fogel, and shines a light on Russia’s state-sponsored doping of its Olympic athletes. The documentary features Gregory Rodchenkov, the head of Russia’s anti-doping lab, blowing the whistle on the country’s extensive plans to provide its athletes with performance enhancers to game the Olympics in 2016. Tune in to hear a discussion on doping in sports, the role of politics in international games, and on the role the documentary played in exposing the truth.
