OUR ERIKA

[MEIE ERIKA]
Filmmaker German Golub makes his feature directorial debut with the rousing true story of Erika Salumäe (Karolin Jürise), a decorated athlete who became the first person to win an Olympic gold medal for Estonia after the country regained independence from the USSR in 1991. Bullied by her peers at a young age and facing a difficult life back at home, Erika refuses to back down and routinely fights against the odds head-on. Capturing the attention of kindhearted mentors, she finds herself encouraged to become a cyclist as a way of turning her life around and escaping her troubled circumstances. As she tries to follow her dreams of Olympic glory, she must overcome the people in her way attempting to suppress the fire she carries inside. –Eli Prysant
