My Way To Olympia

Conscious Cinema – My Way To Olympia

Directed by Niko von Glasow

In My Way To Olympia, film director Niko von Glasow undertakes a journey to meet athletes who compete at the Paralympic Games in London 2012. He himself is a short-armed avowed hater of sport who cannot understand how anyone could take on such an ordeal voluntarily; Even more since everyday life for people with a disability is most often challenging enough. He meets athletes from all over the world and follows them through their training, all the way to the Games in London. Niko neither spares the athletes nor himself asking questions about life, sport and fears. With an ever-growing appreciation for sport, Niko attends the Paralympic Games and travels back to the ancient city of Olympia, where everything began. He tells this story with an intelligence, wit, depth, passion and insight that set it apart from any other films on the subject.
