In 2015 the foundation formed sidewinder films, llc (sidewinder films), a 501(c)(3) wholly-owned subsidiary, in furtherance of its tax-exempt purposes and charitable mission. Sport is more than simply a type of competition. Sport holds the key to unlocking the triumph of human spirit, mutual understanding, and cooperation and respect among all people. Sidewinder films seeks to bring these positive messages of sport to people through films which touch lives, tell remarkable stories, and create a lasting impact. Sidewinder films produced munich '72 and beyond, an emmy nominated documentary that takes the viewer on an emotional journey from the beginning of the 1972 attack to present-day, where finally healing begins to be witnessed as a new memorial is being built in munich at the olympic park.
