So often in life we are used to seeing people praised and celebrated for their successes but we rarely even get an inkling of the pain and suffering they have endured. Using the training life of Acrobats to express this idea of behind-the-scenes training; the idea of having to try and try harder and harder again. As an audience, all we ever see are the acrobats performing all sorts of acts in perfection and grace but we have never seen them backstage in the training to achieve the seemingly impossible. This series is an outright documentation of: failure, process, suffering, bruising and not giving up. It serves as a reminder that success never comes easy and its the journey that builds character. It seeks to encourage all who are in difficulty, to remind everyone who trudge the tough road that it will be worth it in the end.
