Prayer Road is the story of perseverance and determination, and, of course, prayer in a post-conflict world. Prayer Road follows the true stories of the first Olympic athletes from the world’s newest nation, as they, their coaches, the International Olympic Committee and United Nations staff members and peacekeepers put East Timor center stage at the Sydney Olympic Games.

 

Prayer Road tells the story of the athletes who have had to fight for their very lives and existence as a new nation, from refugees camps to the cheers of the world at the opening ceremonies, to their debut on the playing fields of sport and competition.
