“‘The movie I thought I was making was a radically different film than the one that I ended up making,’ says Bryan Fogel, director of the new documentary Icarus, which hits Netflix today. Icarus opens with Lance Armstrong, closes with George Orwell’s 1984, and in between offers a play-by-play of what the director calls ‘the single biggest scandal in sports history’: the revelation of Russia’s massive state-sponsored doping program, a decades-long operation that reached its zenith during the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. The film began as a Morgan Spurlock–style stunt. “
