Over 200 hours of material has been filmed for the documentary, which has been two years in the making and follows the twice world record holder and twice world champion who came out in 2011. The film covers Graeme’s entire story; from the fight with his demons to his cycling victories.

Zoe Lavoie-Gouin, Production Manager, said: “In the light of the recent revelations concerning Tom Daley, we feel that it is fundamental to keep trying to bridge the gap between homosexuality and sports.

“Graeme’s fear of coming out was enhanced by the homophobia still present in sport and it is our duty to share his story so the future can be brighter for the new generation of athletes.”

To complete the process an additional £20,000 must be raised to cover the cost of a craft editor, an editing suite, the sound mix, the completion of the final big screen version, colour corrected with titles and graphics as well as the master for the streams, downloads and DVDs.
