Synopsis

Team Foxcatcher (2016) is a documentary you can watch online on iFILM, tracing how chemical heir John du Pont built an Olympic-caliber wrestling team and turned into a killer.

Du Pont made his Pennsylvania estate into the Foxcatcher training compound and recruited the country's top wrestlers, among them Olympic gold medalist Dave Schultz. Much of the film is stitched from the athletes' own home video, so you watch the benefactor's paranoia curdle almost in real time, from the inside out.

The same case fueled the dramatized feature Foxcatcher with Steve Carell, but here the faces are real — Schultz's widow Nancy, his brother Mark, teammates who lived through it. Stripped of actors and re-enactments, the story lands harder. Worth it for anyone who wants the truth underneath the headlines. Stream Team Foxcatcher (2016) online on iFILM.
