SXSW: Carl Lewis

9-time gold medalist, Carl Lewis, joined the sibs to talk about the documentary profiling his life and impact on pop-culture, "I'm Carl Lewis," sharing insight into how family and learning failure were integral components of his unprecedented success. We're also joined by co-directors of the film, Julie Anderson and Chris Hay, who dig into how they earn the trust of their subjects and how they crafted the arc of this compelling doc. Don't miss this conversation with a living legend and the team that brought his story to the big screen.
