Alex Gibney directs this documentary exploring the controversial career of American cyclist Lance Armstrong. Gibney followed Armstrong, a seven-time Tour de France champion, on his return to racing in 2009. Armstrong's goal in returning was to defy persistent allegations that his past victories were in part due to doping, but in 2012 he was handed a lifetime ban from cycling after being found guilty of taking performance-enhancing drugs, something he finally admitted in 2013. The documentary includes interviews with Armstrong, who offers his side of the story, as well as contributions from cycling contemporaries and those who follow the sport.
Documentary maker Alex Gibney examines the WikiLeaks phenomenon and the question of how information is accessed globally. With a goal 'to bring important news and information to the public', the fledgling website, founded in 2006 by Australian Julian Assange, gained worldwide notoriety in 2010 with its leaking of highly sensitive US classified material, including the infamous 'Collateral Murder' footage of US air strikes on civilian targets in Iraq, along with over 250,000 diplomatic cables. In addition to detailing how the website came to be, the film explores the issues surrounding the freedom of information and moral responsibility, whilst comparing and contrasting the impact that the furore has had on founder Assange, and Pfc. Bradley Manning, the US soldier charged with supplying the leaked material.
Stanley Tucci narrates this documentary account of counter-culture pioneer Ken Kesey's 1960s trip across America in a psychedelically painted school bus. In 1964 Kesey, the author of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' and an advocate for the use of LSD since the time he volunteered to take part in a project studying the effects of the psychoactive drug, decided to travel across country to New York to fulfil a business engagement. Buying an old school bus they named 'Further', Kesey and his group of friends, known as 'The Merry Pranksters', embarked on a cross-country acid-fuelled road trip in an attempt to create art out of everyday life.
