Write a short summary of what happens in the film

Cultural / Context information for the jury
Special Olympics is a global organization that strives for more inclusivity through sports. For people with an intellectual disability, practicing sports is an extremely valuable way to participate in society. Because they are still prejudiced far too often, as an athlete and a person. Special Olympics Europe is always looking for new funding to pursue this goal. The new, structural partnership with Toyota is a giant step for Special Olympics. Not just financially, but also in the recognition as an Olympic organisation.
