Into the Wind (30 for 30)
2010
I first saw this documentary soon after it came out. Overall, there is nothing negative to say about it. Not being from Canada, I knew nothing about its subject, Terry Fox. Apparently from watching the documentary, one comes to learn that Terry Fox is a national hero in Canada and for good reason. Although he wasn't a war hero or some famous politician or rock star, he embodied how many Canadians feel about themselves. Terry was dealt a serious blow physically as a result of cancer. But he refused to let limitations stop him from making a difference in other people's lives.
Among the many ESPN 30 for 30 documentaries out there and I've watched most of them several times, I have a special place in my heart for this one. When I first watched it, I had little expectation as far as what I would learn. Most of the 30 for 30 subjects are familiar to your average sports fan. There is not much I would have added or done differently with respect to how this documentary was done. Since it is only 51 minutes in length, there is not a lot of wiggle room available. For that reason, I do give it a 5 star rating.
5 stars
