Icarus*– the 2018 Oscar Winner for Best Documentary (Feature) – is the first*Oscarwinning film to be distributed by*Netflix.*This is a major accomplishment for the company, which was originally founded in 1997 as a video on-demand service and DVD by mail rental company.
Produced and directed by Bryan Fogel,*Icarusfocuses upon Fogel’s investigation into the use of performance enhancing drugs among bicyclists. His early work brings him into contact with the renegade Russian scientist, Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov, who was once a part of Russia’s state-sponsored Olympic doping program. Realizing the problem is much bigger than he imagined, Fogel works with Rodchenkov to expose just how far Russia went in breaking the law – both in enhancing their Olympic athletes and in covering up the fact that they did so.
