Derice, Sanka, Junio Bevil y Yul son cuatro atletas jamaicanos, sin apenas recursos y sin tener conocimiento o adaptación a la nieve, pero dispuestos a alcanzar una difícil meta: ganar la medalla de oro nada menos que en los Juegos Olímpicos de invierno de Calgary, Canadá.

Spanning stories from 1960-present day, this feature length documentary delves into the moments and victories which brought an entire community from the darkness into the light.
