Being Slaven

Denis Hladiš

Instead of solitude, they chose challenge, turning a handicap into a strong motive. How to face life with one’s eyes wide open; how to break down prejudices and change the world around one by changing oneself? Slaven Hudina and his family will answer this question in a film about infinite persistence which helped the main character make it from high immobility to the Paralympics and law school.
