The Race To Be Myself

Olympic and World Champion, Caster Semenya finally shares the story of her extraordinary life and her battle to compete on her own terms.

Labelled ‘different’ and banned from the sport she loved, Olympic and World Champion Caster Semenya shares the revealing and blisteringly honest story of how the world came to know her name, and place her at the centre of a debate about gender in sports which still continues today.

Told with defiance and speed, The Race To Be Myself is a journey through innocence, ambition, obstacles and acceptance. From her rural beginnings running in the dust, to crushing her opponents on the track. To the falsehoods spread about her name, and the many trials she has been forced to endure publicly and privately. This is Caster’s time to set the record straight and share her story of how she became a defiant champion.

Caster’s story is our story, and testimony to anyone forced to stop doing what they love and to fight for what they believe in.
