Parallel Lines

Documentary goes behind the Paralympics

Images of David Smith and Lucky Shuker in wheelchairs are side-by-side, with a distorted effect merging the two together. Smith is in his mid-thirties and Shuker mid-forties

The film, made by Stephanie Farmer and Kerstin Stutterheim over two years, explores the athletes’ relationship with sport, attitudes to disability and the importance of media coverage.

The screening was followed by a Q&A with Farmer, Stutterheim, Shuker, Smith and Lewis Coombes, BBC South Today Sports Editor, who reported on the Paris games.
