Ambition has no limits when Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson returns in this hilarious exploration of the cut-throat world of pro football. After refusing to compromise his principles to make an alliance with two filthy-rich brothers, Johnson's character expands the firm in the area of client management. They build an extensive client base of young sporting sensations and veteran stars alike, but his role in their lives delves much further than money management. Rather, he struggles to help them navigate the many battles that come with life in the public eye as big-time "ballers". Play ball from today.
This one's based on the idea there's a never-ending amount of knowledge we don't have when it comes to our health. TrustWHO documents film-maker Lilian Franck's quest to discover what lies behind the facade of the world's largest public health body, the World Health Organisation. Established with the aim of building a healthier future for people all over the world, the documentary uncovers there are very few institutions we can rely on for competence and independence in this area. It offers us an understanding into how the medical world gives us answers, leaving us to ponder who we can trust. It will be available Tuesday.
