Facing

Facing is a documentary series that tells the stories of a broad range of global iconic, and often notorious, individuals through the eyes and unique experiences of those who 'faced' them - the brave few who dared to oppose the most accomplished and often feared people who have ever lived. And who better to dive into their psyches and peel back the layers of their successes and struggles than the people who helped shaped them through conflict, confrontation, and camaraderie.
