Daily Mail columnist Mark Webster evaluated three sports documentaries featuring boxer Anthony Joshua, footballer Justin Fashanu, and cricketer Sachin Tendulkar in his Edge of the Box column.
Webster examined the BBC One documentary "The Fight Of My Life," which follows heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua after his victory over Wladimir Klitschko. Webster noted that Joshua performs inside the ring under less painful circumstances while delivering an engrossing conclusion.
Justin Fashanu Documentary
Director Adam Darke and producer Jon Carey created "Forbidden Games," focusing on elder brother Justin Fashanu. Darke and Carey previously made the award-winning documentary "The Crazy Gang" about Wimbledon FC, which placed John Fashanu at the center of the story. Webster noted that the words "surreal" and "complex" used in the film were not exaggerations.
Sachin Tendulkar Film
Director James Erskine created "Sachin: A Billion Dreams," a film running over two hours about Indian batting player Sachin Tendulkar, who was known as the "Little Master." The film includes an intermission for viewers. Webster reported that Erskine filled the running time with a full range of strokes and extensive footage of Tendulkar.
