UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.,
Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In
cinemas around the world on November
28, I AM BOLT will give audiences a unique
portrait of the world's fastest man, Usain Bolt. With unprecedented
access to the Olympic and sporting legend as he trains, travels,
races and relaxes, the film also spotlights Bolt's other roles as
best friend, teammate and son. I AM BOLT will be
available on Digital HD and On Demand on November 29, 2016 and on DVD on December 6, 2016 from Universal Pictures Home
Entertainment.
With unparalleled access to all facets of his life on and off
track, audiences will see for the very first time what being Usain
Bolt is really like – from his grueling training schedule, major
setbacks and challenges he faces in order to achieve his dreams on
the global stage to his downtime with friends and family.
Featuring archive footage from Bolt's youth, in-depth interviews
with those closest to him – his parents, best friends, agent, coach
and fellow athletes – and fascinating footage shot by the man
himself over a legacy-defining period in his career and life,
I AM BOLT offers an intimate portrayal of a globally
adored icon.
Commenting on the film's forthcoming release, Bolt said: "My
aim with making this film is to show people how my life really is…
What I've been through to get me where I am today, the ups and the
downs, and an insight into what I am thinking and feeling. I
know a lot of people around the world feel like they know me
already but I'm excited for everyone to see the real me in I AM
BOLT."
The Triple Treble Olympic Gold medalist will mark his silver
screen debut on November 28 by
attending the film's world premiere in London's Leicester Square that night while
international cinema audiences will be treated to an exclusive
interview with Bolt following the main feature presentation.
Filmed on location at the Beijing World Championships, Rio
Olympics, London Olympics and in Germany and Jamaica, I AM BOLT is produced
