SYNOPSIS
In 1924, a young Scotsman, born in China, flashed across an Olympic starting line...threw his heart into a race he had never trained for...and stepped into the realm of legend. This golden moment-in-time captivated and inspired millions in the Academy Award winning film, Chariots of Fire, but that was just the beginning of Eric Liddell's journey.
Following his stunning quest for Olympic gold, Eric returned to Scotland a triumphant hero, but his heart and sights were set on China. His love for the Chinese people led him back to the land of his birth, and a life cradled in humanity, harbored in humility, and honed by honor.
Eric's odyssey has nothing to do with winning and everything to do with losing. In a defining crisis of human experience, Eric's health is severely compromised, his family's safety threatened, and his personal and spiritual ambitions are put to the ultimate test.
Throughout his life, he ran swifter, higher, and stronger, understanding that in a race all the runners compete but only one receives the prize. Eric Liddell ran his race through fields of honour and laid hold of the ultimate prize.
