The Chariot Races

for grades 6-12

for ages 10-110

 

THE CHARIOT RACES is a unique documentary about the profound journey a person with disabilities must undergo to become truly enabled. Focusing on the extraordinary experiences of world-class skier and wheelchair racer John Davis, this breathtaking film shows all of us, disabled and able-bodied alike, that we can accomplish anything.

THE CHARIOT RACES is remarkable in that it shines a light on the intensity of disabled sports and the amazing athletes who perform in them. Stunning visuals, a jazzy musical score and lots of sports footage, including extreme skiing and downhill wheelchair racing, make THE CHARIOT RACES unforgettable to viewers aged ten and older. Each video comes with a free discussion guide that will help get your group talking about social issues, understanding and respecting diversity, setting and achieving goals and methods for overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
