Tiger Woods: The Rise and Fall (2010x3)

Data emisji: Wrz 07, 2010

Tiger Woods: The Rise and Fall tells the story of the world's most extraordinary celebrity sex scandal, talking for the first time to the key players behind the scenes: the girls; the 'Tiger Team' insiders; and the people who brought him down. In a global TV first, the revelation of Tiger's alleged secret child is broken by the reporter who first broke the scandal. And also for the first time, Michelle Braun (pictured above with director Jacques Peretti), the Hollywood madam who supplied Tiger's girls, reveals the secret sex life of Tiger, including the money he spent and his special requests. Waitress Mindy Lawton reveals details of her year long affair with Tiger, as well as how the affairs were covered up by behind the scenes deals. She has never been interviewed on camera, and the weird, explicit revelations of how they were eventually caught have never been related before. Porn actress and stripper Jocelyn James, who conducted a three year relationship with Tiger, talks about the kind of sex Tiger liked, as well as speaking with candour and feeling about the emotional costs of their affair: how she fell pregnant with Tiger (twice) and the personal price she paid for maintaining the secrecy. This documentary offers an unprecedented glimpse into the billion dollar athlete's secret world, with the people who were there. As well as the girls and madams, the film meets coach Joe Grohman, who made Tiger the man he is on the golf course and reveals Tiger's father Earl's, own infidelities. Elsewhere, Tiger's caddie, Tommy 'Burnt Biscuits', reveals for the first time how Tiger was also trained using army techniques developed in Vietnam (where Earl was stationed) including hypnosis and mind control. This film provides a unique insight into sport's 'golden man', completely altering the perception carefully cultivated by those around him.
