PRESS RELEASE
As the compelling new documentary Changing Track rides its way through cinemas across Australia, culminating in special screenings on December 3 for The International Day of People Living with a Disability, its subjects have won gold at The Para-Cycling Track Championships.
When Australian Para-Cycling champs Emily Petricola, Korey Boddington and Kane Perris make their way around the country for the Q&A tour for the new documentary Changing Track, they’ll be happily weighed down by gold and silver.
The three principal subjects of the film won big at The Cycling Track Championships in Rio De Janeiro. Emily Petricola and Korey Boddington each won three individual gold medals, with these results taking Petricola’s career tally of world titles on the track to thirteen. Kane Perris and his partner Luke Zaccaria, meanwhile, took home a silver medal.
These stunning wins by Emily Petricola, Korey Boddington and Kane Perris make the unfolding tour for Changing Track even more exciting.
Changing Track details the struggles and backstory of Emily Petricola, Korey Boddington and Kane Perris, as they prepare to qualify for the 2024 Paris Paralympics.
At age 27, Emily Petricola was in the grips of depression after a diagnosis of MS; teenager Korey Boddington lay in a coma after a motocross accident; and Kane Perris, born with Albinism, was suffering from the bitter effects of schoolyard bullying. Forced to confront their challenging situations, the trio discovers a powerful new ability in cycling, and a community that encourages them to focus on what they can do, rather than what they can’t.
A stunning new documentary that will literally have you cheering, Changing Track is a film that everyone can relate to. “Many of us experience periods of depression, anxiety or darkness,” says Tristan Kenyon. “Some of us will or have suffered an unexpected event that has significantly changed our life. Some of us might simply be stuck in a rut or feeling lost or directionless. Emily, Korey and Kane show us that anyone has the power to change track, find the right people and focus on what they love no matter what that may be or what life has yet to throw their way.”
Following sell-out screenings in Adelaide and Perth, this truly cinematic experience continues its talent tour throughout November.
In more gold medal worthy news, the Q&A at the Sydney premiere of Changing Track at Ritz Cinemas will be hosted by comedian, screenwriter, director and Patron of MS Australia, Tim Ferguson.
“This film gives a ringside seat to extraordinary bravery against formidable odds. And that’s even before the actual competitions begin,” said Ferguson. “It’s an extraordinary experience to watch! Empowering and moving.”
