The Inspiring Story of an Armless Gold Medalist

Описание к видео The Inspiring Story of an Armless Gold Medalist

Beatrice Vio cultivated a passion for fencing when she was five years old. At 11, she contracted severe meningitis. In the hospital, the doctors gave her an unimaginable choice: Keep her limbs and risk death, or amputate all four to ensure survival. She chose life. Now, Vio is a Paralympic champion and the only fencer in the world who competes without arms or legs.

"Beatrice" was directed by Lorena Alvarado. It is part of The Atlantic Selects, an online showcase of short documentaries from independent creators, curated by The Atlantic.
