Thank you for listening to the FOLLOWING FILMS podcast. Today I am joined by director Brett Harvey.

Brett is a Canadian documentarian best known for Inmate #1: The Rise of Danny Trejo, which holds a coveted 100% Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes. I had Brett on the show to discuss his latest film BREAKING OLYMPIA.

The documentary is the definitive, never-before-told told story of Phil Heath – perhaps the greatest bodybuilder of all time. Featuring interviews with Dwayne Johnson, Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler, and many more, BREAKING OLYMPIA tracks the pivotal point in Heath’s career when, despite being plagued by injuries that come with 18 years of physical and mental sacrifice, Heath stands on the edge of altering the face of bodybuilding history.

BREAKING OLYMPIA is currently available on VOD.
