Built To Last - Trailer
This trailer is for the upcoming documentary film, “Built To Last.” It follows the stories of the amazing men and women competing in a range of Olympic, Paralympic and non-Olympic sports in the Caribbean. It tells the story of how some of these individuals progressed to become household names. We look at well known sports people and the up and coming in a range of sports, such as athletics, boxing, football, martial arts, swimming, and cycling. The film asks, ‘What is it about this region that produces so many incredible sportsmen and women?’ The story takes us across seven different Caribbean islands to look for the answer. Featuring interviews, with Wyclef Jean, Professor George Lamming, Asafa Powell, Shelly Ann Fraser and Yohan Blake and many more.
