In a society where neurotypical athletes are the norm, the Adaptive Sports Foundation in Windham, NY, challenges this perception. This inspiring award-winning documentary follows Farryl, a 10-year-old girl with cerebral palsy, and Matt, a 33-year-old wounded war veteran.
As an ASF athlete, Farryl strives to conquer the ski slopes independently, while Matt seeks a renewed sense of purpose and a reason to keep moving despite his chronic pain. Their journeys—filled with trepidation and determination—see them aspiring to achieve what often seems impossible, even with the tremendous support of the adaptive sports community. Witness the setbacks and triumphs of two passionate athletes determined to defy the odds and accomplish their dreams on and off the snow. Angel Gates Fonseca’s “We Are Athletes” highlights the transformative power of adaptive sports and redefines what it means to be an athlete today.
