Abstract/Description
Documentaries not only narrate athletes' stories but also influence their legacies. You'll see this through representation, audience engagement, and socio-political commentary. The framing theory provides a lens to understand these dynamics and the ways in which specific narratives shape public perceptions of athletes.
