Valerie Adams, still from More Than Gold Photo: More Than Gold, directed by Blair March
It’s a cliché to describe a life portrayed in film as a rollercoaster. Yet, while we know the highest highs of Dame Valerie Adams' career - five-time Olympian, two-time gold medallist, easily one of our most successful athletes - a documentary following her final Olympic campaign is unflinching and intimate in also revealing the very human lows.
Directed by Briar March, More than Gold is a remarkably intimate portrait of an inspirational sportsperson as a mother, daughter, sister and friend.
It’s currently screening in cinemas nationwide.
