Any One of Us

Paul Basagoitia is a professional mountain biker. He competed for a long time. He falls hard in one race. He suffers a spinal cord injury. His life changes in an instant. He learns that he is paralysed. He wants to walk again. A long course of treatment begins. He works against his body and against himself. Recovery does not come quickly. The film tells the mental side of it as much as the physical. Where the recovery will end is not clear. Hope and disappointment arrive in turn. The documentary follows the process from beginning to end. Other people with similar injuries speak as well. What they say is woven into the film. Paul Basagoitia appears in the eighty eight minute documentary. It is an American production Fernando Villena finished in 2019.
