CGiii Comment

Greg Louganis - quite literally - carried the weight of the world upon his shoulders...

The conflict and stress he suffered are unimaginable...and yet, he achieved what only a few can even dream of...

This is an atmospheric and touching film...inspiring, to say the least!

As Greg Louganis prepared for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul he had not only the pressure of winning an unprecedented second gold medal on his mind, but also the weight on his recently discovered HIV status on his shoulders.
