We Are the Champions (2020)
Funny, meaningful, pure brilliance!
'We are the Champions' delivers the perfect 30-minute parcel of 'feelgood' that we all need at the moment. Watching one episode will give you a bite-size chunk of cheer that will last you all way to the holidays!
This series has been beautifully put together by selecting unique competitions around the world, and the even more unique individuals who choose to compete in them.
In each episode, we learn about a quirky event - but are also led gently down a path where we get to know the individual contestants on a personal level, the challenges they've faced and the reasons they're so incredibly passionate about what they do.
Why would someone throw themselves down one of the steepest hills in England to chase after a cheese? Who on earth would want to eat the hottest chillis on the planet?
We learn all of this (and more) through breathtaking cinematography (the Cooper's hill shot being a highlight), humourous narration (thank you Rainn Wilson) and rousing music.
But what we gain most of all, is how to celebrate diversity. To open our minds to what we might consider strange or unusual. To champion those who choose to follow their passions without judgement... whatever they may be.
