Audience Member Great Documentary. Wasn't expecting to laugh with Christian so much, but he is just brilliant. His outlook on what went down is so positive despite being put through so much. I think anything he touches would turn to gold. Loved it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Initially, I had zero interest in seeing this film. Story seemed old hat, played out, past it's expiration date, etc. The job descriptions alone are worth the watch. The real entertainment comes from the phone calls involving bumbling FBI agents and Uber-narcissistic, compulsively lying to save their own ass coaches. The real star is, of course, Christian; whose refreshing honesty still makes me have faith in humanity...twistedly. Cinematically, this is a work of art. Editing and cinematography are brilliant and the hidden camera footage is peppered in expertly. A well crafted documentary from start to finish that, despite its disgustingly corrupt topic will leave you with enough positive feelings to rewatch it. And the moral of the story is something, I feel, any honest sports fan can agree upon...f@^* the NCAA. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member An all too common theme in collage sports, players being exploited by the NCAA and Universities. This documentary looks to provide the perspective of the underbelly of pay to play for college basketball players, through the lens of Christian Dawkins, a young up and coming aspiring sports manager. When Dawkins become the focus of a 2017 FBI investigation, the legal and ethical dilemma involved in modern pay to play scandals is challenged. Viewers are left to wonder...who really are the bad guys in the industry of college sports? Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
