In the caption accompanying the feature-length documentary, she wrote, “Over the past couple of years, I’ve been pouring my heart into a project that shares my journey—the highs, the struggles and everything in between.
“I’m beyond excited to finally give you a glimpse of what it’s all about what with this teaser.
“This isn’t just another documentary—this is your opportunity to be part of something special.”
The trailer highlights Tobi Amusan’s career-defining moments, including her historic world-record run at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Oregon.
It also depicts her more sombre experiences while grappling with the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) regarding anti-doping violations.
In 2023, Amusan faced an indefinite suspension for “missing three tests in 12 months,” and it wasn’t until June 2024 that she was exonerated when the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) dismissed the AIU’s case against her.
