Life Is Not a Competition, But I’m Winning: daring in form and content, Julia Fuhr Mann’s documentary focuses on how prejudice manifests itself in competitive sports, mostly athletics. It quietly asks why some genetic characteristics are readily acceptable while others are (to say the least) frowned upon. The answer, of course, is that when one does not conform to the “heterosexual white male” standard, things get harder. Is there a solution? The director and the film’s subjects hope so, but the film can’t offer, right now, more than a sense of community to support those otherwise deemed too different to be widely embraced. It’s a start. Editors Merit Giesen and Melanie Jilg mix archival footage, personal testimonies, and conversations, creating a poetic, often both touching and enraging, journey.
