This new, quarterly docuseries tackles one of the greatest forces in human history. Each two-hour edition explores a unique sports rivalry and its background, nuances, and impact on the players and teams involved. What does it mean to those who are passionate about it and why? How is it that these competitions can exert such a pull in our lives? RIVALS showcases the many ways great rivalries transcend time and borders, shape mass culture, affect millions, and even reach into the worlds of business and politics. And, as we so often find when we identify with a particular sports rivalry ourselves, how they relate to the individual rivalries in each of our own daily lives.
