A Story of Resilience: Fabrice Muamba’s Recovery
Based on an exclusive interview with former Premier League footballer Fabrice Muamba and his wife, Shauna, this film for The Open University explores “resistance” through the lens of his 78-minute cardiac arrest on the pitch at White Hart Lane.
Produced as part of an exclusive online sport degree module, it dissects resistance as both a physical barrier to survival and the mental hurdle of rebuilding a life after a career-ending event.
By examining the Muambas’ defiance of medical odds, the documentary demonstrates how an elite sporting mindset overcomes the ultimate life-changing challenge.
