Esportes do Mundo

Very interesting, crazy sports showcased. My biggest gripe is a lot of the shots/angles don't give the sports justice. For example, I would've loved to see a wide view of the bull racing and more action of the rugby-boxing insanity.

My question from the show....how does PETA feel about Kok Boru?

Apparently anyone can make a documentary. Or not. Just having an idea and making interviews with whomever might speak to you is not enough.

Superb histories, amazing people and incredible places

Judging by the narrator's accent, I assume that "Home Game" was originally made for British television. Regardless, it was just recently posted on Netflix and is worth your time if you want to see about small, lesser-known ultra-dangerous sports. Each episode covers one sport...such as the nutty Calcio Storico (Florence, Italy), free diving, Texas Female Roller Derby and the Highland Games (among others).

Overall, this is a very interesting series. While I am not a huge sports fan, I did enjoy the shows. the one that I could not make myself watch was free diving. I am a scuba diver and simply think free divers are insane...and death is not too uncommon. Apart from that, I loved the programs...particularly Calcio Storico, as it is so weird and violent, you really won't believe it! Well made and never dull.

UPDATE: I did watch ALL the episodes...even the free diving one. Scary...but worth seeing as well!
