The dimpled, eminently watchable Mario Lopez stars as
Olympic-winning diver, Greg Louganis. The film is based on Louganis’
autobiography, chronologically follows him from his difficult childhood with his
adopted parents, through his young adulthood when dyslexia, low self-esteem and
his long-hidden homosexuality combined to make his personal life miserable,
despite his athletic ability and success as a competitor. In the last half of
the film, Greg is forced to confront his abusive relationship with his lover and
his own HIV+ status. The real Greg Louganis is seen in archival footage of his
Olympic diving and at the end of the film.
