Wheelchair Basketball

At last year's Tokyo Paralympics, Japan clinched silver in the men's wheelchair basketball, their first-ever medal in the event. At the heart of the team was star player Chokai Renshi. Both a talented basketball player and a budding writer, Chokai is working to change the public image of para-sport. His motto is "Don't try to be perfect, just be different." Chokai, who has no lower legs and is missing fingers on both hands, writes in the preface to his book "With my body and mind together, I am complete." We learn what drives this focused young athlete and retrace the action from Tokyo 2020.
