Born to Fly

Streaming video - 2022

For over 20 years, Sergey Bubka dominated pole vaulting, until France’s Renaud Lavillenie broke his record in 2014. In 2020, Armand "Mondo" Duplantis shattered the sport, breaking the world record six times in two years and winning gold at major championships, including the Paris 2024 Olympics. This documentary offers an intimate look at Duplantis’ journey from prodigy to legend, surpassing his father’s coaching, embracing his Swedish heritage mid-career, and facing challenges on his path to becoming the GOAT, the greatest of all time. It’s the story of a young athlete striving for greatness in an often-overlooked sport.
