Long Shot is a 2017 short documentary film about how Juan Catalan was arrested for a murder he did not commit. A TV show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, contains raw footage that was instrumental in proving his innocence.^[1][2][3]

The documentary was released on Netflix on September 29, 2017.

In August 2003, Juan Catalan was arrested for the murder of Martha Puebla in Los Angeles County, California.^[4] Puebla had been a witness at the hearing of gangster Mario Catalan (Juan's brother) a few days prior which he had attended. Police officers arrested him, as he fit the facial composite a witness described. He was cleared after footage from Curb Your Enthusiasm revealed that he was at a Dodgers game, and a phone call traced him to Dodger Stadium before the murder.
