STILL a LION

Still a Lion - The Story of Elite Refugee Athletes follows Olympic Refugee athletes who were forced to flee their homelands, yet refuse to be defined by exile. Through intimate access across continents, the film traces their journeys toward the Olympic world stage, where sport becomes a means of survival, resilience, and self-reclamation. As they compete under the Refugee Olympic Team banner, the stakes rise beyond medals, culminating in the first historic medal ever won for the Refugee Olympic Team, redefining what victory means on a global stage.
