Synopsis
Desert Warriors: Lions of the Namib
Desert Warriors: Lions of the Namib follows a lioness and her daughters as the travel through Namibia's desert with their five male cubs. The cubs are raised without a pride male and are instructed by their mothers in hunting both large prey and small. When the elderly matriarch dies, her daughters must finish the job.
Icarus
While investigating the furtive world of illegal doping in sports, director Bryan Fogel connects with renegade Russian scientist Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov—a pillar of his country’s “anti-doping” program. Over dozens of Skype calls, urine samples, and badly administered hormone injections, Fogel and Rodchenkov grow closer despite shocking allegations that place Rodchenkov at the center of Russia’s state-sponsored Olympic doping program.
