March 28, 2013

The essay, published in Gender and Genre in Sports Documentaries: Critical Essays,looks at three sports documentaries and the questions they raise concerning sports, celebrity, and measurements of success, as well as the conventional structure of sports documentaries. The essay considers how The Best That Never Was (Jonathan Hock 2012), No Crossover: The Trial of Allen Iverson (Steve James, 2010) and Catching Hell (Alex Gibney, 2011) use and interrogate sports documentary clichés, their cultural functions and their varied pleasures.
