What I Am Bolt Is About

An authorised documentary made with close access to Usain Bolt. There is unseen footage from his youth in Jamaica, training, injuries, and the races at Rio in 2016, his last Olympics. Gabe and Benjamin Turner directed. One correction is needed: publicity describes Bolt as having nine Olympic golds, but the 2008 relay gold was taken back in 2017 after a teammate's doping case, so the figure today is eight. Because it was made with the athlete's approval, the film asks no difficult questions; good for admirers, thin for anyone wanting a critical portrait.
