Details

With unprecedented access to Olympic and sporting legend Usain Bolt as he trains, travels, races and relaxes, I Am Bolt, available on DVD on 28th November 2016 from Universal Pictures (UK), spotlights Bolt's other roles as best friend, teammate and son.

With unparalleled access to all facets of his life on and off track, audiences will see for the very first time what being Usain Bolt is really like - from his grueling training schedule, major setbacks and challenges he faces in order to achieve his dreams on the global stage to his downtime with friends and family.

Featuring archive footage from Bolt's youth, in-depth interviews with those closest to him - his parents, best friends, agent, coach and fellow athletes - and fascinating footage shot by the man himself over a legacy-defining period in his career and life, I Am Bolt offers an intimate portrayal of a globally adored icon.

Commenting on the film's forthcoming release, Bolt said: "My aim with making this film is to show people how my life really is... What I've been through to get me where I am today, the ups and the downs, and an insight into what I am thinking and feeling. I know a lot of people around the world feel like they know me already but I'm excited for everyone to see the real me in I Am Bolt."
