Official Netflix Trailer for “Untold: The Fall of Favre” [VIDEO]

This eye-opening documentary delves into Brett Favre’s controversial career, the dark side of sports stardom, and the scandals that marred his legacy.

Super Bowl™ champion. Three-time NFL MVP. Hall of Famer. But that’s not the whole story. This tell-all documentary unravels quarterback Brett Favre’s legacy and pattern of unchecked behavior, including an explicit text message scandal and his involvement in a massive welfare fraud scheme that shocked the nation.

The critically acclaimed series UNTOLD returns with three new stories, pulling back the curtain on epic tales from the wide (and wild) world of sports.

Three new films are premiering weekly on May 6th, May 13th, and May 20th.

Quote From Director Rebecca Gitlitz

“I’ve always been drawn to the stories filled with nuance and complexity, and when it comes to sports biggest stars, what’s on the other side of fame? The UNTOLD series has shown time and time again that they are willing to tell unfiltered stories no matter the depth. So, making this film on Brett Favre for this series felt like the worlds were aligning. This story about one of the greatest quarterbacks in history goes beyond touchdowns and epic wins and lifts the lid on how when fame rises, sometimes accountability falls. It was made with the intention of laying out patterns of behaviors, told from the people who lived with the consequences of Favre’s actions, to ask audiences to consider if success should be a shield for harmful behavior. Ultimately, the film challenges all of us to consider when we let our heroes go too far, who is to blame? And when the dust settles, can we have honest conversations about the humanity of all of those involved.
