🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film expertly frames a corporate negotiation with the tension of a thriller, revealing the human drama behind a seismic business decision. It transforms complex league politics into a compelling narrative about vision and rivalry.
What lingers after the credits is an appreciation for the fragile alchemy of competition and compromise that created a cultural titan. The documentary proves that some of sport's greatest battles are won with pens, not passes. — MovieFinder Editorial
