What I make
Each video takes one sports film and tells the true story behind it: what the film shows, what the record says, and what it left out. They run as long as the story needs, most between 10 and 20 minutes.
Two new documentaries a week, and three to five Shorts from each one. So far: The Blind Side, Concussion, Friday Night Lights, Radio, Pat Tillman and Greater.
How it's researched
Every new video is made to the same rules, and every video, old and new, has a public page listing its sources. It's the reason the channel is safe to put a name next to.
- Every fact has a sourceEach claim is traced to the research file, and the narration says who it comes from.
- Two sources for what happenedDates, scores and events need two independent sources. Two outlets repeating the same wire story count as one, and anything that can't be confirmed is cut.
- Quotes are word for wordOnly from print or from recordings. Nothing is paraphrased inside quote marks.
- Fair to everyone in the storyWhere people disagree, both sides are given, and allegations are called allegations. Fair to the film, and to the town.
- Film clips with a purposeClips from the film are short and muted, and each one shows the thing being discussed, for commentary and criticism.
- Every source publishedEach video links to its own sources page, with the photo and footage credits.
