Directed by Julia Fuhr Mann • Documentary • 2023 • 79 minutes
In a poetic-radical utopia, the film shakes up stereotypical gender relations in competitive sports. It searches for the queer-feminist potential in the Olympic running disciplines and sketches a world beyond rigid gender images.
If history is written by the victors, where does that leave those who were never allowed to be part of the game? A collective of queer athletes enters the Olympic Stadium in Athens and sets out to honour those who were excluded from standing on the winners' podium. They meet Amanda Reiter, a trans* marathon runner who has to struggle with the prejudices of sports organisers and Annet Negesa, a 800m runner who was urged by the international sports federations to undergo hormone-altering surgery. Together they create a radical utopia far from the rigid gender rules in competitive sports.
