Pushing Boundaries

Pushing Boundaries (English Subtitles)

Ukrainian athletes during the Paralympic Games grow above their physical boundaries, while around them political boundaries are pushed back and forth.

PUSHING BOUNDARIES | A Lesia Kordonets Film

PUSHING BOUNDARIES accompanies athletes from the Ukrainian Paralympic National Team who have lost their training base in Crimea due to the Russian annexation. They try to adapt to the new historic conditions in their private as well as in their professional lives and to qualify for the next games. The film shows people who grow beyond their physical limits on a daily basis while around them political boundaries are pushed back and forth. And the country they represent at international competitions is rendered invalid by the amputation of its territories.
