The Armstrong Lie

The Armstrong Lie delves into the intricate world of professional cycling and unravels one of its darkest tales: the downfall of Lance Armstrong. In 2009, filmmaker Alex Gibney began documenting Armstrong's return to competitive cycling, only for the project to be halted in light of a looming doping scandal. It wasn't until Armstrong's eventual confession that The Armstrong Lie found new purpose, offering an intimate and revealing look at the unfolding drama from 2013 onwards. In his own words, Armstrong acknowledges, "I didn’t live a lot of lies, but I lived one big one." This gripping documentary exposes the extraordinary story behind the deception and disgrace in the sporting world, providing audiences with an up-close examination of a public figure's unraveling.
