Tom Brady, a 6 time Superbowl champion quarterback, was accused of deflating footballs to gain an advantage in an AFC championship game. An accusation of a minor equipment violation quickly dominated the national headlines for months and public opinion against him solidified. However, serious scientists and other legal experts began to question the allegations. Four Games in Fall challenges the prevailing public perception that Tom Brady cheated, and exposes the tactics that were used to manipulate the media and scientific inquiry to manipulate public opinion.

Valutazioni e recensioni

Four Games in Fall is a must-watch for any fan of the Patriots, football, or just the truth in general. Even if you're not a Pats fan, you will appreciate the way this documentary goes behind the curtain of the NFL, and shows the truth about media manipulation, science for hire, and journalistic integrity. You will see many different viewpoints, with interviews with lawyers, scientists and sports journalists. This gives the documentary a very balanced view at not just the Deflategate scandal, but the backroom happenings of the entire NFL organization.

This may seem like a documentary made for Patriot fans. But it actually extends beyond sports. The subject matter concerning big business, science for hire, and manipulation of the media is thoughtfully and objectively discussed. If you love the Patriots, hate the Patriots, or are not even a sports fan yet concerned about how businesses can manipulate public opinion this is a must watch. Truly eye opening.

A MUST WATCH! This documentary is well put together, I highly recommend it! Deflategate and the Patriots just happens to be the backdrop , but Four Games in Fall is not a rah rah football, Patriots or Tom Brady film. It does provide a keen insight into the lengths the NFL is willing to go to manipulate the narrative via #FakeNews and suspect science! The film is so apropos today, as it highlights how public opinion can be so easily and artificially shaped through intentional media manipulation, which is so apropos today, given current political landscape and use of similar manipulative tactics.
