Shows the joy of skiing while giving an intimate portrait of those whose stories haven't been told

Champions covers a lot of ground. It is fundamentally a ski movie about a competition, but it is also a refugee story, a history of a valley, and an intimate portrait of individuals struggling with their lot in life. It is impressive how well the film covers all of these in a cohesive whole in its 80-minute run time.

As a skier, I love how it captures the joy of skiing. It helps me realize how lucky I am to have the opportunities I have, when these poor shepherds can enjoy skiing without winter clothes on wooden skis they make themselves.

As an Afghan citizen, I appreciate that the director respected his subjects and helped them tell their true story without pushing his own US agenda.

As a human, I appreciate that this story focuses on our joint humanity.

It's a wonderful movie, and I highly recommend it.
