Ah! Now I get it. I get ESPN America and ESPN Classic but unfortunately don't think they show stuff like that on those channels. While we are on the subject, ESPN Classic (the European version) is bloody brilliant! Old FA Cup matches and classic internationals. Watch it all the time.

I don't think this is being aired outside of the U.S. It is part of the 30 for 30 documentary series. A series of 30 documentaries chronicling sports events over the last 30 years. ESPN's 30th anniversary was last year. There will be only 3 documentaries that don't involve stories about sports outside of North America. Two of them have aired already. South Africa's 95 winning Rugby World Cup team and The Two Escobars. The third isscheduled to air sometime later this year on Norway speed skater Johann Olav Koss.
