"Unfiltered" is the first documentary of its kind in the sport of swimming. This groundbreaking film provides a compelling look at Phelps and Crocker, from their dueling competitions at the World Championships and Olympics to claim supremacy in the 100-meter butterfly to their friendship beyond the pool. "Unfiltered" explores the commitment, sacrifices and personal struggles both have made in order to become world champions and Olympic heroes while revealing a never-before-seen side of these two vastly different individuals. "Unfiltered" focuses on Phelps and Crocker during their four months of training prior to the 2005 World Championships. The film documents two very different paths to stardom; Phelps grew up as a Baltimore swimming prodigy in a single-parent home supported by his mother and two sisters; while Crocker launched his career to international swimming success from the state of Maine which lacks a single Olympic-sized (50 meter) swimming pool. Outside the pool, the film explores Crocker's battle with clinical depression and Phelps' facing a DUI charge shortly after the Olympics.—Octagon imdb.com
