DAME VALERIE ADAMS: MORE THAN GOLD

Valerie Adams is a daughter, mother, wife, and two-time Olympic gold medalist. Having grown up from humble beginnings in Auckland, NZ and forever proud of her Tongan heritage from her mother’s side, Adams has become one of New Zealand’s most celebrated athletes. DAME VALERIE ADAMS: MORE THAN GOLD, directed by Briar March, centers on Valerie’s perspective on her rise to fame, and her troubled childhood, traversed through racism and poverty. March brings forth an intimate look at Adams’ life, through years of news footage and intimate verite moments as Adams prepares for competition. It is an empowering tale of excellence and self love.
