About the Documentary
In 2008, the fight against doping was at its peak, with the Lance Armstrong case still kicking its legs and organizations trying to legislate and draw the fine line between the legal and the illegal.
And, in between, the Beijing Olympics with Alex Schwazer competing for his medal.
What happened, you can find out in this Netflix documentary series that delves into the intricacies of sport and a subject matter that, apparently simple, has many connotations.
A documentary with a first layer story to tell, that of the racewalking champion Alex Schwazer, and a much deeper story to think about, that of the sports organizations and the pharmaceutical industry.
And all with a question in the air: where is the limit?
