Three Hundredths of a Second
The amazing story of the Israeli paralympic swimming team
Pascale, the director of the film, a disabled athlete and a former member of the prestigious swimming team herself, thought it would be great (and easy) to make a film about her teammates, her friends.
But as pressure towards the olympic mounts, a crisis follows and raises questions about the role of the camera: is it just observational or is it affecting the protagonists' behaviour, while disrespecting their right for privacy and peace of mind? - Along with the ethical questions, the drama is at its peak with three gold medals and three world records, set by the team's favourite swimmer.
