If Bennett Miller’s Foxcatcher captured your imagination, get ready to learn the full story of eccentric billionaire John du Pont and his fatal obsession with the Shultz brothers, especially Dave (played by Mark Ruffalo in the movie), with Netflix documentary Team Foxcatcher. Largely made up of never before seen footage from Nancy Schultz, Dave’s wife, during their time on the Foxcatcher farm, the film delves deep into du Pont’s history with the the two brothers and the events that lead to that fateful day in 1996 when he visited the Schultz house for the last time. Long before Making a Murderer came a cultural phenomenon, Netflix have been knocking it out of the park with their documentaries (two were nominated for Oscars this year), and this promises that nothing has changed.
Team Foxcatcher hits the streaming service on April 29th.
