In partnership with producers Matthew Johnston and Graham Colby, we will be delivering exclusive spin-offs over the next few weeks in anticipation of the film. With footage gathered from this project from nearly two years, our videos will give a glimpse into what you can expect from the festival cut which tells the interesting story of Sanders, one of the most well-known athletes in triathlon currently. Get the inside look at Sanders’ attempts to perfect his aerodynamics, hear from members of his family about his challenging past and see unique footage from his major races to date. The series will be posted to our website in weeks leading up to the screening.
