Rising Phoenix(2020)

The story of the Paralympic Games, from their origin in a Stoke Mandeville hospital ward to a global movement, told through nine Paralympians including fencer Bebe Vio and sprinter Jonnie Peacock. Visually lush and unusually direct about the politics: funding collapses, media condescension, and the athletes' own refusal of inspiration framing. Won multiple Sports Emmys.
