Pitch
8 Seconds" revisits the unforgettable 1989 Tour de France, where Greg LeMond beat Laurent Fignon by just 8 seconds after 3,285 kilometers. This documentary, led by journalist Rodrigo Beenkens, combines sports, drama, and technology by using AI to revive Fignon's voice and tell his story.
Join Fignon’s widow, Valérie, as she embarks on a poignant journey to meet LeMond, her late husband’s greatest rival. Will they find closure after all these years? "8 Seconds" is more than a race—it’s a story of rivalry, legacy, and reconciliation. Don't miss it!
