Netflix has released a sports documentary on Paralympics, named ‘Rising Phoenix’ which has premiered globally in over 190 countries on 26th August. It coincided with the one-year-to-go celebrations for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.

Matt Stutzman is a London 2012 silver medallist. He was born without arms and is one of nine Paralympians whose stories are depicted in the documentary.

He said: “I think [the film] is trying to bring awareness to everyone who is watching. Yes, we have physical disabilities, but that does not stop us. We can still live normal lives. We can still be the person who goes to the grocery store and gets food. We can live like everybody else.”

Paralympic Games is going to host a global conversation based on the Netflix documentary ‘Rising Phoenix’ on 29th August. The documentary depicts how Paralympics have sparked a global movement throughout the decades. It also shows how it continues to change the way the world thinks about disability, excellence, diversity and human potential.
