Carte Blanche coming up: Defying gravity

The Sunday, 02 August episode of Carte Blanche Carte explores how parkour is changing lives by looking beyond its reputation as an adrenaline-fuelled extreme sport.

The programme follows a community of athletes who use discipline, resilience and teamwork to overcome physical and personal obstacles, demonstrating that the movement is about far more than daring rooftop leaps and gravity-defying stunts.

United by the belief that every challenge has a solution, these practitioners are not only building strong communities but are also turning their passion into opportunities, with some earning recognition on the global stage, including in Hollywood.
