The Marinovich Project

Trained meticulously by his father, Marv, Todd was raised with the singular purpose of becoming the ultimate athlete. His early success included setting high school passing records and being drafted in the first round by the Los Angeles Raiders.

However, the film does not shy away from the darker aspects of Todd's life. After a promising start in the NFL, he faced a swift decline marked by substance abuse and struggles beyond the realm of football. The narrative examines the complexities of their father-son relationship and the pressures that led to Todd's downfall. It raises the poignant question of what happens when the pursuit of perfection spirals out of control.
