IPC/Facebook
- Ahead of the Paralympics, Facebook and the IPC teamed up to create a film series exploring the impact of sport on those living with disabilities across the globe.
- The USA-based episode centers Dylan Hronec – an adaptive surfer from New York nicknamed the "Surfing Samurai" – who helps expose others to his sport through the non-profit Surf for All.
- The four-part series aims to spotlight #WeThe15, a human rights movement seeking to end discrimination against the 15% of the global population living with disabilities.
- "As someone who has followed the Paralympic movement from a young age, this film was something special to be a part of," Hronec said. "The opportunity to grow awareness about adaptive athletics and showcase it on such a large platform is a blessing."
