Red army – film about Russian ice hockey in the 70’s and 80’s at the height of the Cold War and Russia’s almost military approach to sport at the time. A lot more interesting than it sounds
Unchained: the story of freestyle motorcross – about the underground / alternative motorcross ‘Krusty’ scene in the 80’s and 90’s away from all the glitz and showmanship of stadium motorcross.
Dark horse – a bar maid in a poor Welsh valleys town convinces the locals to form a syndicate and buy a race horse, they can only afford a nag that everyone else had written off and goes on to do rather well. Uplifting story about how sport springs people together and takes them away from their day to day troubles
Tracks – not a documentary, but a bio pic of a young girl who decides to buy and train camels and walk them across the Australian desert. Bit of a similar dynamic to maiden voyage
Second for valley up rising and maiden voyage.
