Title: Selective Storytelling - Ignoring the Biggest Controversy
Review:
Netflix had the opportunity to create a groundbreaking documentary about the greatest basketball tournament in history. They had unprecedented access to players, locker rooms, and behind-the-scenes moments, yet they failed to tell the full story.
The series does a great job highlighting controversial officiating when Canada was robbed against France. The main referee of that game? Ademir Zurapovic from Bosnia and Herzegovina. But somehow, when the same referee was at the center of the even bigger scandal in the Serbia-USA semifinal, the documentary goes completely silent.
For everyone outside the USA (and countries that dislike Serbia), the main takeaway from that game was the biased officiating by referees from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Panama. Yet, this series makes no mention of it. In 10 years, anyone watching will think Serbia vs. USA was a fair battle, when in reality, it was heavily influenced by questionable calls.
Netflix had all the tools to make a great series, but by ignoring the truth, they turned it into just another sanitized sports documentary.
