This incredible commercial for the Paralympic Games shows the triumph of the human spirit
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Britain’s Channel 4 has a new ad for the 2016 Paralympic Games that showcases the triumph of the human spirit — no matter what life throws at you. The video opens with Canadian drummer Alvin Law, who was born without arms and quickly becomes the most incredible cover of Sammy Davis Jr.’s “Yes I Can,” sung by Tony Dee, a lounge singer in a wheelchair.
The ad features numerous athletes who will be competing at Rio and everyday folks who haven’t let their disabilities change their life. It ends with a simple phrase: “We’re the superhumans.”
After watching this you’ll agree 100 percent.
