(Great Britain/USA/Germany, 2016, 106 min., director: Dexter Fletcher)

Great Britain, in any sport. Try and try again, he never becomes good at any of them and his dream slowly fades. But then it occurs to him to become a ski jumper, because the UK doesn't have a lot of them. So he sets off to the Alps to try learn from the best on how to do it. But after a series of painful falls he realizes that he can't do it without a coach. That's when Bronson Peary steps in. He's the handyman at the winter resort, a fighter, a drinker, and also former ski jumper who had been kicked off the US Olympic team. He decides to take Eddie under his wing and get him to the 1988 Calgary Olympics.
