Not a ‘Chariots of Fire’ dramatisation with lots of fictionalised content. This is a down to earth documentary on the life, calling, sacrifice and triumph of a world class Christian athlete motivated by a call to honour and serve God.

With everything to teach those who would compromise their worship for worldly glory, this documentary interviews people who knew and who have made it their business to find out what drove Eric Liddell to make the hard decisions. This full length DVD makes for moving fascinating viewing with many details of Eric's life, newsreel footage and archive photographs of perhaps best known Christian athlete and example of sacrificial faith.

Faith hero of the 1924 Olympics, Eric Lidell’s story is told by David McCasland, author of Eric Liddell: Pure Gold, Eric's daughter Patricia, and Rev. John Keddie, consultant on "Chariots of Fire," along with fellow prisoners form the internment camp in China.

The documentary paints an authentic picture of Eric Liddell as a humble man with a simple and personal faith whose life's purpose was to glorify God. His life and legacy continue to impact people's lives around the world. A story which much to say to our success obsessed sport infatuated culture and offering a way-in for discussions of faith and service.
