TOUCH THE SKY WITH ALEX ZANARDI

A STEREOSCREEN PRODUCTION
Alex Zanardi's story is part of our feature film ADRENALIN - THE BMW TOURING CAR STORY out November 2014.
/ adrenalin.thefilm
This is a short, but very intimate portrait of Alex Zanardi, the former Formula 1 driver and winner of the American Champ Car Series. Alex was already a star, when he had his almost fatal accident at the Lausitzring in Germany. He lost his legs, but not his attitude. Alex Zanardi came back and did the impossible: He won races in the World Touring Car Championship, two gold medals at the Paralympics in London 2012 and just recently added two more hand bike world titles!
It was a unique experience to spend a day with a true hero at his house in Padua, talking about his life and joining him for a training session with his hand bike. His last words in our film describe him best. But see for yourself...

Zanardi. The man. The Hero. The legend!

[@fred04001]

"if they don´t understand it, it´s not our problem" Just a little Italian god. Thank you Alex!

[@guyrichie]

To see that story of optimism, acceptance, resilience and positivity and know that he has since been hit by a truck while riding his bike is such a sobering reality. I think about Alex a lot and hope he is without pain and suffering and getting better.

[@fighterck6241]

Notice that he's doing everything for himself. Gets his bike, puts it in the car, offload it, gets himself on the bike, etc. Amazing.

[@Tomorrowboymex]

Even hero is too small for Alex Zanardi. But in the meantime, we can call him hero and inspiration.

[@Tomorrowboymex]

Alex Zanardi, you are an inspiration for everybody, for everyone. I am glad you exist, because you give me strength to start every day. I wish the best in your recovery, for you and your family. You are beyond a hero, you are beyond human. I mean it.

Alex, how to be like you? I think you are way superior than the typical human race. From where do you get your strength? You are a true God, you are a hero, a legend.

Hoping someone can tell me what setup is that in your garage. In winter i need something to hold my front wheel in place for my hand-bike and I see the red front wheel holder? What brand or was it home made. I only have one hand-bike and limited fund so I would love to know if I can buy that somewhere.

[@enjoylife587]
