Icarus is a gripping documentary that explores the widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs in professional sports. Directed by Bryan Fogel, the film initially starts as an experiment in which Fogel, an amateur cyclist, decides to dope himself and document the effects. However, the documentary takes an unexpected turn when Fogel's investigation leads him to uncover a major doping scandal involving Russian athletes and the state-sponsored doping program. Icarus exposes the corruption and cover-ups within the world of sports and raises important questions about fairness, integrity, and the pursuit of excellence.
