This inspiring documentary about one of Britain's top Paralympic medal hopes follows the life story of sprinter Ben Rushgrove, who won a silver medal at the Beijing Paralympics just three weeks after breaking his foot.
The film traces the incredible story of a man who, born with cerebral palsy, defied doctors' warnings that he would never walk to go on to break both World and European sprinting records.
From Beijing to the 2011 World Championships in New Zealand, and Rushgrove's training regime under the revolutionary coach Rob Ellchuk, this is an eye-opening profile of a remarkable man.
