Force of the Spirit is a documentary about courage and triumph in the face of adversity. Jean Jacques Machado, born without a functioning left hand, overcomes all challenges to become one of the world’s greatest hand-to-hand combat grapplers. This is the legendary story of a world champion. Awe-inspiring and inspirational, Machado demonstrates that it’s not what’s on the outside that determines a person, but rather what’s on the inside.

The film was featured at the 2008 Monaco Film Festival.
