THE FINISHING LINE – Channel 4
Noel Martin is a quadriplegic who wants to go to Switzerland for euthanasia, 13 years after he was paralysed in a brutal racist attack by neo-Nazis in East Germany. Three years ago, Noel bought a racehorse to compete at Royal Ascot. A miracle happened and the horse won, making Noel the first triumphant black racehorse owner at Royal Ascot. But, despite his passion, he now wants to end his life. This poignant, touching, and intimate look at the life of a courageous man explores the complex realities and emotions that are caught up in Noel’s desire to end it all.
