This is a sobering, emotional block that dives into the stories behind the scoreboard and highlights how the rules of sport reflect the struggles of society. Witness the cost of playing the game: an athlete and his family navigate life after a traumatic brain injury, a trans youth fights to take the soccer field, an Iranian fencer finds herself in the middle of politics over competition, and a boxer vanishes in the wake of protest.

Parisa has spent two years training towards her goal: representing Iran as a fencer at the next Olympics. At the regional heats, however, she is suddenly told to fake an injury and withdraw from her next match because if she stages an injury, she will get a “nice reward”. If she doesn’t, the authorities may never let her compete again. But no reward could be enough for Parisa to give up her one shot at the Games.
