Weight Throwers
Weight Throwers follows the struggle of a young, jobless and disabled generation who strive to conquer the Rio Paralympic Games in order to have a shot at ordinary life at home in Morocco. Becoming a star athlete is their pursuit of love and acceptance in a country uninterested in the fate of those who are different.
