Icarus

Bryan Fogel set out to make a personal doping experiment film and accidentally stumbled into the biggest sports scandal of the century. His contact, Russian anti-doping scientist Grigory Rodchenkov, became a whistleblower who exposed Russia's state-sponsored Olympic doping program. Fogel literally had to help Rodchenkov flee to the U.S. while making the movie. It won the 2018 Oscar for Best Documentary and got Russia banned from the Olympics.
