The Track
(Bosnia and Herzegovina/Canada, 2025, 95 min)
Director: Ryan Sidhoo
Producer: Spirit of 84 films, Ryan Sidhoo
The Track is a coming-of-age journey of three teenagers chasing their improbable Olympic dreams in post-war Bosnia. Training on their bullet-riddled luge track left over from the 1984 Winter Games in Sarajevo, the heart of the journey is relatable, sometimes humorous and exciting portrayal of friends striving for a better life despite rekindled nationalism, political corruption, and a murky economic future.
"At a time where there is so much turmoil in the world, this film leaves you feeling optimistic and hopeful about the future for young people living in a post war world. Shelled during the Bosnian war, Sarajevo’s 1984 Winter Games dilapidated luge track is brought back to life by a devoted volunteer coach and three teenage boys as they train and chase improbable Olympic dreams. Unfolding over five years, it's also a story of resilience and you want the boys to succeed as they strive for a better future in this coming-of-age story."
