Dec. 14, 2023 | Germany | 79 Min | IMDb: 6.5 | TMDb:5.8 | Not RatedGenre: Documentary Directors: Julia Fuhr Mann, Actor: Amanda Reiter, Annet Negesa, Caitlin Fisher, Chun Mei Tan, Daniel Marin Medina, Eva Maria Jost, Greta Graf, Jakob Levi Stahlberg, Oumou Aidara,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 poetic utopia far from the rigid gender rules found in competitive sports.
