What to Watch Tuesday: Sports doc looks at the life journey of Caitlyn Jenner
Untold: Caitlyn Jenner (Netflix) - The latest installment of this new five-part documentary series, from the creators of “Wild Wild Country,” looks at Caitlyn Jenner, an Olympic decathlon gold medal winner in 1976, considered at the time to be the world’s greatest athlete. From Netflix: “But for Jenner, the 1976 Olympic decathlon was more than an athletic test. It was a welcome distraction from the far more challenging inner turmoil of coming into her own identity. After setting a new world record and winning gold in Montreal, Jenner’s image became the standard for athletic excellence and propelled her into immediate American superstardom. The athletic feat she craved and celebrity image she crafted, however, also became the main deterrents from embracing her identity as she knew it. Told with an extraordinary collection of never-before-seen archival footage, including reels of newly discovered Olympic footage and home videos from the Jenner family, Jenner traces her life with new insight from winning gold to making the decision to transition to her relationship with her children—Jenner is clear-eyed about who she was and who she is.”
