About Gymnasten som lärde sig gå
He was 19 years old and promising gymnast. But one volt went wrong, one in a hundred thousand, and he broke his neck. Never go again, the doctors thought. And never again breathe on your own, without a respirator.
Directed by Tom Alandh, Gymnasten som lärde sig gå leans on a strong ensemble — Tom Alandh, Marcus Lilliebjörn, Peter Lilliebjörn — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2014.
