Accessible video transcript

[00:00–00:10]

[We are at Lake Maggiore. Vanni Oddera and Mattia Vernengo get into a Citroën and drive along scenic roads surrounded by nature on a sunny day.]

[00:11]

Vanni: Mattia, what do you do in life?

[00:13]

Mattia: I’m a content creator and I spend a lot of time at the gym.

[00:17]

Vanni: How has sport influenced your life journey?

[00:21]

Mattia: It’s helped me a lot, also in how I relate to people.

[00:27]

Vanni: What are the main challenges you face because of your disability?

[00:33]

Mattia: One in particular is stuttering, but thanks to my determination and perseverance, I manage to overcome them all, including that.

[00:43]

Vanni: Do you ever get negative comments? And if so, how do you deal with them?

[00:48]

Mattia: At first they bothered me a bit, but little by little, as I grew and matured, I realized it’s pointless to take it personally.

[00:56]

Vanni: Mattia, so far we’ve followed the road—but now are you ready to fly?

[01:00]

Mattia: Of course, let’s do this!

[01:01–01:25]

[Vanni and Mattia ride a zipline suspended over the mountains. During the descent, they shout excitedly and smile. Then there is an aerial shot of the lake, and finally the car is seen setting off again.]
