Breaking the Surface: The Greg Louganis Story

He's one of this century's sporting superstars: high diver Greg Louganis, five times world champion and winner of four Olympic golds and forty-seven major titles - more than any other diver in history. This compelling drama charts both the blessing and tragedies which drove this extraordinary athlete to sporting glory - and his battle to win acceptance by a society prejudiced against his sexuality. For Louganis had a secret which he had long kept concealed: he was gay and HIV positive. But despite overwhelming stresses - including a serious injury sustained in front of millions of TV viewers at the 1988 Olympics - Greg found the strength to refuse to live in fear any longer.

    Fantastic and moving film

    This has to be one of the best films I have watched. A story of a very brave champion. It could bring tears to your eyes.
