The Precious One is a biopic based on the true story of South African-born British Olympian and former world champion athlete Precious McKenzie, MBE. Like Nelson Mandela, Precious’ life story ranks right up there beside history’s greatest examples of the human spirit triumphing over immense hardship.

This inspiring drama, which is set predominantly in South Africa during the tumultuous apartheid era, focuses on the struggle for freedom within one of the most oppressive regimes since Nazi Germany.

The Precious One is the ultimate underdog story and a testimony to one man’s indomitable spirit. No matter how bad things get – extreme poverty, violence, racial hatred – Precious McKenzie remains unbreakable.

The Precious One has the potential to be a mainstream crowd-pleaser in the vein of other successful films which dramatise an individual’s triumph over adversity. Movies such as The Pursuit of Happyness, Men of Honor, Slumdog Millionaire and The Blind Side.

The colorful, larger-than-life lead character makes this motion picture totally unique. The story also gains originality from its political setting. Precious McKenzie’s struggle encompasses both the personal and the political, giving it much greater resonance.
