Go Figure: The Randy Gardner Story
All proceeds will go to The Aids Monument.
The Randy Gardner Story is the riveting documentary of Randy Gardner of the World champion pair figure skating team of Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardner.
The two gained infamy as the heartbreak kids of the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics. Just as the pair was about take to the Olympic ice for their event, they had to withdraw due to Randy’s injury. Tai and Randy were slated to be the original “Miracle on Ice”. The USA was counting on "America's Sweethearts" to win the Gold over the long dominant Soviets. It was the ultimate Cold War battle played out on a sheet of ice.
This public persona as World Champion and two-time Olympian is well known.
What isn’t known and has now been put on film in Go Figure: The Randy Gardner Story, is Randy's personal story. A story that delves beneath the cool, calm and collected demeanor he displayed in his feats of strength and artistry lifting his pair partner, Tai. A story that is filled with family secrets, closeted homosexuality and the price paid. A story that epitomizes the human quest to seek out and find ones true identity.
Director Sharidan, using footage from Randy's one man show, skating practices and competitions, scrapbook clippings and home movies, along with newly filmed sequences and interviews, has woven together the pieces of Randy's life into a poignant and compassionate film that is at once, heart rending, uplifting and inspiring.
