The documentary in question is Breaking Olympia: The Phil Heath Story. As the title suggests, the entertainment project was focused on telling the story behind Phillip Heath’s success and challenges in the bodybuilding sport. Having equaled Arnold Schwarzenegger in winning the Mr. Olympia title seven times in a row, Heath’s story had several plot points that were undiscovered from the fans’ perspective.
