What does it take to be a Paralympian?

The Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games begin on the 24th of August 2021, with 537 events from 22 sports to be contested. They are the culmination of five years of blood, sweat and extreme sacrifices made by all the athletes competing.

Set to a freshly-recorded version of Bugsy Malone’s So You Want to Be a Boxer? by Jay Prince, the film candidly shows various British Paralympians preparing for Tokyo, including Ali Jawad, David Smith, Ellie Simmonds, Jody Cundy, Jordanne Whiley, Kadeena Cox and Kylie Grimes.
