    • Synopsis
    • Indigenous figure skater Harley Windsor from Western Sydney, and the tiny but tenacious Ekaterina "Katya" Alexandrovskaya from Moscow, formed a magical partnership on the ice, winning gold for Australia with Harley becoming Australia's first Indigenous Winter Olympian. But the unlikely duo's fairytale rise becomes a disturbing and profoundly moving study of elite athletes who rise to the top of their discipline, and the toll that such an ascent can take.
