About the Film

An intimate portrait of an American legend, BACK ON BOARD Greg Louganis, is a feature-length documentary that tells the life story of this four-time Olympic Champion as he returns to diving after a long period of absence. BACK ON BOARD explores the captivating, compelling, and complicated life of an Olympic star whose athletic talent sparked a worldwide fascination with diving.


Part biography, part social exploration – this film reveals Louganis’ evolution from childhood diving prodigy to Olympic champion, and from pioneering openly gay athlete with HIV to a sometimes forgotten sports icon. BACK ON BOARD is an engrossing story about an American legend.

The independent documentary film BACK ON BOARD is currently in post-production.  We are still raising the funds needed to complete this film.

The film expected to be released in 2014.
