The Raw Nerve

Ep70 Changing Track: Finding Hope and Resilience Through Paracycling


Listen Later

In this powerful episode, we delve into the new Australian documentary, Changing Track’, a non-fiction drama that follows three unique athletes on their journey to chase a Paralympic dream after trauma and disability forced their lives onto a new course. We are joined by the film's creators: Tristan Kenyon, Director and Writer, and Timothy Kenyon, Director of Photography, Writer, and Producer.

The Kenyon brothers discuss the genesis of the project and their narrative choice to focus on the human stories and the "why" behind their subjects' passion, rather than just the medals or times. They share how they built trust to tell these deeply personal stories and their hope that the film inspires anyone facing a dark point in their life to ‘change track’ and find a supportive community.

We also welcome Paralympic gold medallist and world record holder Emily Petricola OAM PLYwho was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at age 27. Emily shares her initial nervousness and emotional vulnerability in revealing her journey with MS, how cycling became a vital part of her life and a golden opportunity to use her platform to shine a light on the often-invisible struggles of living with a chronic disease, and the collaborative and supportive relationship she built with the filmmakers.

‘Changing Track’ is about more than sport; it’s a story about hope, community, and the resilience found on the other side of adversity.
