The Armstrong Lie: GFT
Friday 31 January – Thursday 6 February
GFT, 12 Rose Street, Glasgow
This chronicle of Lance Armstrong’s now infamous fall from grace began as an uplifting documentary about his 2009 comeback for the Tour de France. Filmmaker Alex Gibney was granted complete access to the cyclist’s inner circle and filmed telling interviews with everyone from Armstrong to his ‘doping doctor’, Michele Ferrari. Combined with fresh interviews in the aftermath of the scandal, the footage reveals how many people were willing to turn a blind eye to signs of foul play to preserve the Armstrong myth.
