'n Gids vir Louzanne

Documentary
Afrikaans
40 min
WED16 July, 10:00
'n Gids vir Louzanne explores the unique relationship between a blind paralympic athlete and her diverse running guides. It shows how this relationship can lead to vulnerability and sometimes heartbreaking outcomes on the athletic track on the one hand, but also immense empowerment and a broadening of horizons on the other; how it leads to changed perceptions and perspectives around human ability and disability, and how it ultimately transforms the individual-focused sport of athletics into a full-blown team sport.

Bloemfontein Paralympic runner Louzanne Coetzee and her three guides provide thought-provoking, candid insights on “blind athletics” against the backdrop of mixed successes at two Paralympic Games, as well as a second attempt at tackling South Africa's iconic Soweto Marathon, where a unique and delightful "on-board" perspective is given of Louzanne and her running guide's experiences. The documentary reveals how sometimes the thing that was intended to assist you, makes you fail; how sometimes a desire to help can lead to the helper being helped; and how sometimes the person being guided ends up being the most effective guide of all.
