Categorical Records will release the first-ever soundtrack album for the 2015 documentary The Champions. The album features the film’s original music composed by Emmy Award winner Jeff Beal (House of Cards, Carnivale, Rome, Pollock, Monk, The Biggest Little Farm, Blackfish). The soundtrack will be released digitally next Friday, January 27 and is now available for pre-order on Amazon. The Champions is directed by Darcy Dennett and tells the story of the pit bulls rescued from the brutal fighting ring of Atlanta Falcon’s star quarterback Michael Vick, and those who risked it all to save them, despite pressure from The Humane Society and PETA to euthanize the dogs. The documentary premiered at the 2015 Hamptons International Film Festival and was released on VOD, Blu-ray and DVD in early 2016 by FilmRise. The movie is now also available to stream on Peacock.
