BIG Star: The Nick Skelton Story, the official all-access documentary of the 2016 Olympic champion Nick Skelton (CBE), will hit British cinemas next month after its premier in London at the beginning of May.

The movie will tell the story of the seven-time Olympian – “one of the most decorated and enduring equestrian champions the world has ever seen. Nick’s passion and perseverance drove him to seven Olympic Games and inspired athletes in the sport worldwide.”

The film includes interviews with Nick’s family and with key members of the British equestrian community. Nick’s inspirational tale was first brought to life by his partner Laura Kraut’s screenwriter son Bobby Kraut several years ago.

Nick Skelton won a team gold medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games on Big Star and, four years later, at the age of 58, he took the individual gold at the 2016 Games. It was a fairytale ending after a comeback from a broken neck.
