It also captures what could have been the death knell for the Paralympics just four years ago in Rio de Janeiro when local organizers told Paralympic officials a month before the start that they’d run out of money to run the event. Millions from the Paralympic budget had been taken to pull off the trouble-plagued Olympics.

Only a government bailout saved the Rio Paralympics, and just a few months later Carlos Nuzman, an International Olympic Committee member and head of the organizing committee, was arrested on suspicion of money laundering, tax evasion and racketeering.

“If it’s easy, it’s not the Paralympics,” Gonzalez tells film viewers.

Italian fencer Vio might be the star: energetic, smiling, dramatic and frank. Or was it the Australian swimmer Cole, who recounts throwing her prosthetic leg at a school bully who called her “Pirate.” She was not bullied again.

“In the Olympics, all of the bodies look the same,” Cole says. “And in the Paralympics, none of the bodies look the same.”

Or Stutzman, known as the “Armless Archer,” who grew up wanting to be basketball player Michael Jordan. He deadpans: “There was no way I was going to be Michael Jordan. No way. I’m not tall enough — right.”

There are also segments with Tatyana McFadden, Jonnie Peacock, Jean-Baptiste Alaize, Cui Zhe, Ryley Batt and Ntando Mahlangu — all with stories worthy of their own individual film.
