That's So: Rising Phoenix

Good morning and happy Tuesday! It’s the last Tuesday of the month which can only mean one thing… It’s time for another That’s So episode. Today we’re chatting about the 2020 documentary film Rising Phoenix.

Rising Phoenix is a documentary directed by Ian Bonhôte and Pete Ettedjui, which follows 9 Paralympians and various other insiders as they reflect on the Paralympic Games and movement, including the success of London 2012 and the funding dramas during Rio 2016. 

In this episode we learn more about the thoughts behind the filmmakers’ vision, what you can expect throughout the doco, your thoughts after watching, and I get to ask New Zealand Paralympian Rory McSweeney how he felt in the lead up to the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games. I also attempt to speak French lol.

You can watch Rising Phoenix for FREE until September 5 on youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=-Wa0Ta1pqu4 

And on Netflix: netflix.com/title/81122408 

Don’t forget to come back on Sunday as we bring you another Tokyo 2020 Highlight & Hype episode recapping the week that was at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics!
