Co-created by Chapman Way and Maclain Way (“Wild, Wild Country”) who are also executive producers on this new sports documentary, “Untold: Malice in the Palace”follows key figures from an infamous incident between players and fans at the NBA game in Michigan as they discuss the fight, its fallout, and its lasting legacy, the first season of which premieres Tuesday, August 10, 2021, on Netflix.
WHAT IS “UNTOLD”?
The Official synopsis reads: “Premiering weekly, each film kicks off at a pivotal moment — the big fight, the Olympics, the playoffs — and then delves deep into what happened beyond the headlines, as told by those who lived it, to reveal the grit, resilience, heartbreak, triumph, violence, comedy, and pathos beneath the sweat.
Whether it’s the famous “Malice at the Palace” Pacers-Pistons brawl finally being unraveled by those who were on the inside, Olympian Caitlyn Jenner reflecting on her journey to winning gold, boxer Christy Martin in the fight of her life outside the ring, professional tennis player Mardy Fish opening up about his struggles with mental health, or a misfit band of hockey players known as the ‘Trashers’ taking orders from the teenage son of an alleged mob boss.
‘Untold’ gets to the heart of the passion and single-mindedness it takes to be a champion and the ways in which the triumphs can be undone off the field.”
