KELLY: SOMEONE ELSE'S DREAM

Synopsis

Freestyle skier Kelly Sildaru shot to international fame in 2016 when, at the age of 13, she became the youngest Winter X-Games gold medalist of all times. Coached by her father, the pair became a media sensation and broke countless records. Given her un-matched success on the mountains, no one would have predicted the injury that would derail Kelly’s first Olympic run, or the even more devastating secret she was about to reveal: her father had allegedly been abusing her for years. Delving into the dark side of competitive sports, the documentary explores the immense pressure young athletes face and the toll it takes on their mental well-being. It is a story of resilience and courage; setting a new standard for sports bravery.
