Don Meredith's son (the director) uses the famous "Ice Bowl" as a central theme to talk to players on both sides (and some civilians as well) about the game. Michael, as narrator, talks about his father, unsurprisingly, but is still a well-told story that keeps you watching. The game is (literally) legendary, with both teams having ups and downs, leading up to the agonizing (for us Cowboy fans) final score. One of the most touching moments is when Roger Staubach, looking back on the first Cowboy Super Bowl win, says "this was Don's team." But Don had moved on, eventually to join the great triumvirate that gave new life to the NFL.
Micheal said something interesting early on in the documentary, that he was racing the undertaker to get participants memories (Don himself had died 7 years before this was done.) Anyway, worth watching.
