OLYMPIC LIVES

OLYMPIC LIVES is not just a sports documentary. It is a documentary of five human stories of perseverance and effort. It tells us of life, the joys and disappointments that make us grow as a person, and also of a group of athletes who surpass themselves every day on their way to the Rio 2016 Olympics.

Each athlete embodies an Olympic value which is present, with a special prominence, in his life: All of them have similar careers and lives – children who stand out for natural talent in their disciplines and work hard to achieve their dreams. All were born in ordinary families, of middle class upbringing. All they have it has been achieved by believing in themselves.
