Description of What It Takes

"What It Takes" is the documentary starring four elite Ironman triathletes - Peter Reid, Heather Fuhr, Lori Bowden, and Luke Bell - who together have won 6 world championships and dozens of major races. Viewers go behind the scenes in the quest for the 2005 world championship in Kona, Hawaii. Running at 96 minutes long, the movie includes footage of the athletes training, racing, and resting, and also opening up in extensive interviews to share their thoughts and feelings. The audience learns much about the sport of triathlon and the duel for athletic supremacy, but also about the very human issues which confront four athletes in an up-and-down, unpredictable year. The movie goes significantly beyond anything offered in sports cinema previously. It was shot at 24 frames per second on a Panasonic SDX-900, and is presented in 16:9 widescreen format. Its rich cinematic feel and sweeping visual imagery from places around the globe - including Australia, Canada, Dubai, and numerous locations in the United States, including Hawaii - combine with compelling storylines to produce a story about four athletes, four human beings, and one dream, the Ironman world championship.
