George Best, la leyenda
Director
Retrato del mítico jugador del Manchester United que llegó a ser conocido como 'el quinto Beatle'. Guapo y carismático, el jugador nacido en Belfast, Irlanda del Norte, fue un mago del balón que cada semana volvía locos a los británicos. Pero la vida personal de George Best tuvo un lado trágico: su carrera fue a la deriva por sus excesos con el alcohol y las fiestas, su carácter autodestructivo y su lucha contra la depresión.
The Fall
Director
The Fall tells the remarkable story of a South African barefoot runner, an American track-and-field prodigy, and the events behind one of the most memorable moments in sporting history – the 1984 LA Olympics. The film charts two journeys, from rural South Africa under apartheid and the rolling hills of Southern California, to the starting line of the women’s 3,000 metres. It uncovers a tale of betrayal and exploitation, of the blurred lines between politics, media and sport, and of the dedication and sacrifice required to compete at the highest level. It’s a story that split governments and divided nations, but at its heart is a tale of two young women who, despite the turmoil in their lives, just wanted to run.
Don't Look Down
Director
Don’t Look Down is the untold story behind Sir Richard Branson’s daring attempts to cross the Atlantic and Pacific in the mid 80s and early 90s in the world’s largest hot air balloon.

Branson remembers details of his journey with remarkable sharpness and clarity. It’s as if the perilous adventure he embarks upon, with engineer, and Balloonist, Per Lindstrand, just occurred.

North Korea World Cup 1966
Director
Eusebio scores four goals to help Portugal come back from 3-0 down to defeat underdogs North Korea 5-3 at Everton’s Goodison Park in the 1966 World Cup quarter-finals. The football legend has died at the age of 71. Widely considered one of the best players of all-time, he scored 733 times in 745 professional matches Even in defeat, the North Koreans were, by now, undoubted ambassadors for their country. The warmth was shared on both sides. When Dan Gordon visited the players in North Korea, they were eager to return to Middlesborough. But were they just victims of a Communist system that had driven them to do well? Not according to Dan Gordon, who says that modern football has only just caught up with the fast-paced style that the Koreans played: “Football in 1966 was incredibly slow, and nowadays teams play like the Koreans did in 1966… I wouldn’t call them victims at all… they were visionaries.”

The John Akii Bua Story: An African Tragedy
Director
At the Munich Olympics of 1972, John Akii Bua, from the impoverished African country of Uganda, powered round the inside lane in the 400m hurdles, past the English favourite, and reigning Olympic Champion David Hemery, to win the gold medal, 10m clear of the field. John Akii Bua had become the first African to win gold in an event under 800 metres. He was also the first man to break the 48 seconds barrier in the 400 metre hurdles, an event so gruelling its nickname is 'The Mankiller'. This is the story about that amazing triumph - and what happened next. David Hemery retired to respectable fame and fortune, later becoming president of the UK's athletics federation. John Akii Bua returned to a Uganda carving the name of its military "President", Idi Amin, into genocidal notoriety. This is a film about the pinnacle of athletic achievement - and the search to discover what followed.
