Movie Haiku:SPLIT DECISION: In 2009, Gibney signed on to make a doc about return to Tour de France competition after 7 wins followed by voluntary retirement. So he was "there" for the final act of the Armstrong Doping Scandal, filming everything inside out/outside in. Rich was riveted by seeing this archetypal "story of our times" as a whole, but Jan thought everything in LIE was already known.
