Sport is never only about the score; the best sports films are about what it costs to keep going. Shorts strip it down to the body, the pressure and the person underneath the jersey. These films are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch. Stories of pushing past the wall.
Shadow Boxer follows one man's fight to break out of his father's shadow, Tiny, Texas watches a high school basketball prodigy hit a wall of expectations, and Forgive Me traces a promising fighter whose ambition becomes the cause of his heartbreak. Squeeze follows a high school wrestling coach recruiting an outsider, a student with Autism.
The best sports short films find the drama in the training, not just the trophy. Babyface is a super fun doc about a childhood dream of becoming a pro wrestler, and Crack Shot watches a former squash champ caught in a toxic father-son relationship.
