His story includes unseen footage, letters, and interviews with his family, friends, and collaborators. Curry's genius on the ice was met with widespread acclaim, but his life was marked by struggles with his sexuality, bullying, and prejudice. Despite these challenges, Curry found freedom on the ice and became the first openly gay Olympian at a time when homosexuality was illegal. His story is a testament to the power of art and self-expression.
