Bob Bradley Documentary Lands On PBS After ESPN, NBC Sports Pass

PBS tonight at 10:00pm ET will debut "American Pharaoh," a documentary about Bob Bradley's time as coach of Egypt's men's national soccer team. Filmmaker Hossam Aboul-Magd said, "We went in and started filming for 10 months before we approached PBS. We were the ones who approached PBS. We tried shopping it around. ESPN, NBC Sports, al-Jazeera, many others. No one showed much interest. But deep inside we believed that this was a great story, and we were determined to go ahead with the story whether we had the funding or not. So basically, we funded it" (PHILLY.com, 6/15).
