Visions of Eight is a film about the personal dreams which make the Olympic Games transcend the physical into the spiritual. When granted the authority to record the 1972 official film of the Games, the Wolper Organisation elected to eschew the traditional documentary approach in favour of the human stories spelled out during the contests. Although the cameras recorded the tragic events surrounding the death of the Israeli athletes, the film remains a non-political tribute to all the contestants and to the spirit of the Olympic Games.
