NO LIMITS - IMPOSSIBLE IS JUST A WORD

A STEREOSCREEN PRODUCTION

Alex Zanardi, the main figure in NO LIMITS may have lost his legs, but not his spirit. After his almost fatal crash in 2001, he fights his way back to world-class racing. Not only that: He discovers his love for the handbike and becomes a Paralympic gold medal winner. The documentary features this true legend and his fellow teammates Timo Glock and on their new mission: the 24 Hours of Spa.

NO LIMITS debuted in November 2015 at various international film festivals and will be available worldwide in 4K Ultra HD resolution as Video on Demand, starting February 1st.

“A documentary that’s got the lot: Great pictures, gripping situations and emotional vibes. In an almost unprecedented way the movie shows how the success of life depends on the inner attitude towards our own destiny. Fascinating and powerful.“

“It has been an unforgettable experience. We spent more than three month with Alex and the team. The entire project kept us busy for nine month, taught us the real meaning of the word ‘willpower’ and made us deal with about 15 terabyte of 6K raw material that we’ve been shooting with our Red Epic Dragon. Our small crew was really happy to be invited to several film festivals and present NO LIMITS to a broader film-loving audience.” – TIM HAHNE, DIRECTOR

SYNOPSIS

NO LIMITS is the new award-winning feature documentary from German production company STEREOSCREEN. The 60-minute film tells the story of leg-amputee racing driver Alex Zanardi as he tackles one of the most famous endurance races in the world: The 24 Hours of Spa- Francorchamps.

Alex Zanardi, former Formula 1 driver and winner of the American Champ Car Series, was already a star when he suffered his almost fatal accident at the Lausitzring in in 2001. He lost his legs, but not his attitude. Alex came back and did the impossible: He won races in the World Touring Car Championship, two gold medals at the Paralympics in London 2012, made it through the Iron Man and is adding more handbike world titles every year…

In this ultimate race, Zanardi is accompanied by two teammates – no less than ex-Formula 1 driver Timo Glock and touring-car champ Bruno Spengler. Together they form a true all-star team of racetrack pioneers, going beyond limits and limitations in their BMW GT race car. Never before has a handicapped driver competed in a race on this level with able-bodied drivers.

The documentary covers the whole story, starting three months before the race with their first get- together at BMW headquarters in Munich. The camera then follows the team and their specially equipped BMW Z4 race car in brilliantly filmed, ultra-high-definition pictures until the lights turn green in Belgium and the Iron Man with plastic legs limps into his race car, changing seat and steering wheel with his teammate.

But for Alex Zanardi, even after the marathon race, his mission is not over. Only four days later, he is eager to defend his white jersey at the Handcycle World Championship in Switzerland - an outrageous challenge, even for the man with no limits.
