The three athletes themselves as well as friends and relatives have their say. The film culminates in London at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London.
Background information
Shooting began in the summer of 2011 in Schleswig-Holstein , where Kirsten Bruhn lived. The following autumn the film team traveled to Australia to see Kurt Fearnley and in February 2012 to Kenya, where Henry Wanyoike lives.
The film had its world premiere on February 15 as part of the Berlin International Film Festival 2013 in the Berlinale Special series . The premiere on free TV was on March 6, 2014 on ARD .
The film is completely subtitled in German.
The Wiesbaden film evaluation agency awarded the film the “rating of particularly valuable”. From the reason:
“Hammon, himself an excellent cameraman, finds images that convey the fascination of these people for their respective sport to the viewer via the screen. You can feel, whether in the competition or far from it, the pain, the exhaustion, but also the adrenaline-charged feeling of happiness that flows through the protagonists. And that's how you share their feelings, fears and hopes. A moving documentary film that does not pity me, but arouses great admiration and respect for these extraordinary people and athletes. "
