Demand for documentary filmmaking has taken off in the last few years, with Red Bull leading the way. Red Bull TV is a treasure trove for subscription-free, on-demand films. From the celebrated library of high-caliber documentaries are six films that exemplify the range and quality available to viewers.
Ride: All in Red Bull Edition
Going all in for the professional motocross riders means more than full-on surrender. For them, it means putting in the hours, showing up, trusting in the program, and the team. For the few that do prescribe to this ethos, like Marvin Musquin, Jeffrey Herlings, Jorge Prado, and Cody Webb, the journey is long and worthwhile. For them, there is no other way to climb to the top of the podium.
Karl Meltzer: Made to be Broken
The Appalachian Trail covers 3,500 km and passes through 14 U.S. States. For ultrarunners, it remains one of the greatest challenges. In this film, Karl Meltzer and team give it their all in his final attempt to complete the trail and break the land record. This would mean completing the journey in less than 49 days. A superhuman task if there ever was one. This is a film about the power of the human spirit, family, teamwork, execution, and what it truly means to never give up and follow through on your dreams.
Reverence: A Journey into Fear
Elite mountain bikers understand fear. They grasp it, know it firsthand, they live and grow by it. Fear is always around to be conquered. In this gripping feature you will meet Darren Berrecloth, Cam McCaul, James Doerfling, Matt McDuff, and many more in their journey against fear. For these extreme athletes with heart, the only way to defeat it is to face it.
Offline: A Snowboarding Escape
The Global Nitro snowboarding team takes control of the camera, giving curious viewers an all-access pass at the life and times of a snowboarding group. The teammates live and work together all hours and have fun while they are doing so. This is the kind of movie that only a snowboarder could make. It’s quirky, sincere, and promises that the life of extreme athletes is never one for those who favor a dull moment.
Open the Doors: Scuderia Alpha Tauri
Professional F1 drivers Danil Kvyat and Pierre Gasly unveil their new racecar and prepare for their first race of the 2020 season in this documentary. See how they manage their routine and health and get a look at the sheer amount of work that goes into preparing for a single race. It takes dozens of individuals working together to get a team to the finish line, and this is the perfect film to prove it.
Underdogs: A Documentary about Hip-hop Culture
Pulling away from the athlete-themed filmography of the above, art and musicians are featured as well on Red Bull TV. This is one such documentary, by director and producer Téo Frank, whose love of extreme sports brought him into filmmaking. Hip- hop is the focus of this documentary, as Frank takes the audience for a behind-the-scenes look at the urban art, and the people who make it.
