Manuel de los Santos is one of sport's most inspirational figures. Growing up in the Dominican Republic, he played baseball from a young age and by 2003 was planning to turn professional. But a motorcycle accident changed his life forever when he lost his left leg above the knee.

Following this accident, he moved to France and on seeing the film, 'The Legend of Bagger Vance', he was inspired to take up golf. Now 26 years old, Manuel lives in Paris and plays to a handicap of just three, competing in high profile tournaments all around the world. His extraordinary golf swing has become instantly recognisable.

Peter Montgomery read about Manuel at the end of 2009 and had the idea of making a film about him. This short documentary portrait is the result.

    Walking the court is essential in the game of golf. Its what makes gold a sport and not purely a game of skill

    What in the world are you talking about? He's not talking about being a pro, just a guy that has found joy in playing golf. I see him walking with crutches the whole time. Able bodied people even take carts.

    Hes got an unfair advantage by not having to walk the Course. Not that impressive to me
