“Alex is an overachiever. She always gets what she wants, and now she wants to earn selection for the Olympics. ALEX is the story of a young woman's quest against setbacks, intense rivalry and personal tragedy to win selection for the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome.

“Alex Archer is not like other girls her age. She's tall, she's talented and she's headstrong. She's also a winner who finds the courage to be a champion.” - New Zealand Film Commission; www.nzfilm.co.nz/film/alex; 29/01/2014.

Based on the book by Tessa Duder.
