In this award winning film, directed by designer and creative director Priya Ahluwalia, we meet Kimia Alizadeh and Cindy Ngamba, two of Nike's Olympic Refugee athletes. We filmed their impressive training routines in an East London boxing gym before they travelled to Paris for the 2025 Olympics, and documented their conversation around identity, resilience and what it means to be seen. 

An incredible games saw both Kimia and Cindy take home bronze in their respective sports, with Cindy becoming the first ever medalist for the Refugee Team.

The film won the prestigious People's Lovie Award, voted for by the public, beating stiff competition from legendary director Spike Lee. It was a true honor to work on this film alongside a truly talented team:
