An emotional rollercoaster.
Robert's accident is burned onto my retina[s]....hated seeing it again. However, the really vulnerable side to William and Michael (particularly Michael whom you associate with being a bit of a hard man) was touching.

Interesting seeing him (Michael) getting painkilling injections directly into his back at the Ulster GP then winning the race....barely able to wlak up to the podium after!

An exceptional piece of film making.

It just showed how tough but selfish road racers are ,I have grown up with it from around the age of 4 and it's hard to understand after the loss of friends and family why the Dunlop brothers (Michael and william) would put their mother through that they have nothing to prove and as road bikes get quicker it becomes more dangerous.just my opinion
