The 30-minute documentary series chronicles the blood, sweat, and vision of inspiring personalities whose determination and bold moves are putting the Philippines on the map and opening doors for the next generation.

The first episode features Filipino pole vault star EJ Obiena, who shares his journey from growing up in a family of athletes to becoming one of the world’s best pole vaulters.
