Synopsis

Documentary about the Melbourne, Australia 1956 Summer Olympics semifinal water polo match between Hungary and the Russia, and the events that led up to the violent battle, the match that what would later be known as the “Blood in the Water match.”

MUBI's take

Known as the “blood in the water match,” the water polo event of 1956 was immortalized as one of the bloodiest in Olympic history. Narrated by the record-breaking athlete Mark Spitz, Freedom’s Fury is a nail-biting account of a moment when sport and revolution intersected unforgettably.
