This month should have seen the ending of the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, as well as the beginning of the Paralympics.
On August 26, when the Paralympics would have been on, streaming service Netflix will premiere the documentary Rising Phoenix, all about the history of the movement and the incredible stories of the athletes featured, including Ellie Cole, Jonnie Peacock and Tatyana McFadden.
The streaming service has now dropped the first-look trailer for the documentary, which features some incredibly inspiring athletes.
"From the rubble of World War II to the third biggest sporting event on the planet, the Paralympics sparked a global movement which continues to change the way the world thinks about disability, diversity & human potential," the documentary's description reads.
The film will feature several athletes, including Italian Fencer Bepe Vio, French runner Jean-Baptiste Aliaze and world champion archer Matt Stutzman, among many others.
Prince Harry also features in the trailer, saying: "There isn't anything else in the world that can bring you back from the darkest places than sport.
