ABOUT

The feature length documentary, Genius of Sport, which covers the life and times of Pierre de Coubertin, began production in 2022 and should be complete by the spring of 2025. In the meantime, here are four chapters of Pierre’s story—delivered in visually compelling motion graphics—that take you from (1) his school-boy education at the Jesuit School Saint Ignace in Paris, (2) his years as a Bon Vivant to the vision he had at Rugby, (3) the Paris 1889 Universal Exposition where he realized the power of global events, and finally to (4) the launch of the Modern Olympic Movement five years later at the Sorbonne.
