Pushing Boundaries

Directed by Lesia Kordonets

2021 – 102'

Synopsis

Athletes from the Ukrainian Paralympic National Team have lost their training base in Crimea due to the Russian annexation in 2014. They try to adapt to the new historic conditions in their private, as well as in their professional lives, to qualify for the next games. Pushing Boundaries shows people who grow beyond their physical limits on a daily basis, while around them political boundaries are pushed back and forth. Furthermore, the country they represent at international competitions is invalided by the amputation of its territories.
