30 for 30: The American Gladiators Documentary

This second part — which includes dramatic re-creations of Carr’s unpublished memoir — is so much more engaging than Part 1 that it’s a shame viewers have to wait nearly 90 minutes to see it. Despite its flaws, threaded throughout this ungainly film is a dramatic and at times moving tale about people trying very hard not to be the villains in anyone’s hero narrative.
