Athletes and fans explore the impact of sports on the lives of Americans.

The story of Vince Lombardi's 1969 Washington Redskins, the only season he coached for the team before he died of cancer just prior to the 1970 season.

Based on David Maraniss's book They Marched into Sunlight, a documentary telling the story of two seemingly unconnected events in October 1967 that changed the course of the Vietnam War. Whilst a US battalion unwittingly marched into a Viet Cong ambush which killed 61 young men, half a world away angry students at the University of Wisconsin were protesting the presence of Dow Chemical recruiters on campus.
