Description
Inspiring Cambridgeshire is a documentary film that celebrates the wide variety of arts, sports and cultural events and activities that were inspired by the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics.
From local festivals, fun days, games, parades and carnivals to the Olympic Torch and Paralympic Lantern Relays, this fascinating record shows how people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds across Cambridgeshire celebrated London 2012 through the themes of diversity, culture, legacy, community, inspiration and success.
Filmed by Peter Harmer and Stories: Projects in Film, the documentary was commissioned by Cambridgeshire County Council and Cambridge City Council.
C
Summersham's
been
totally
inspired
by
the
whole
olympics
and
we
were
very
excited
to
get
our
community
games
t-shirts
and
bunting
and
banners.
That
was
a
really
exciting
moment,
because
we
felt
it
wasn't
just
our
community
doing
their
little
sports
event.
It's
kind
of
part
of
the
whole
thing
and
that's
been
great.
D
One
of
the
good
things
about
physical
activity
for
children
and
for
adults
is,
it
gives
people
an
opportunity
to
get
together
socially
and
to
do
things
as
a
community,
and
we
absolutely
know
what
people
do
how
people
choose
to
live.
Their
lifestyles
is
very
much
influenced
by
what's
going
on
in
the
community
around
them.
E
We've
got
a
lot
of
work
taking
place
in
the
city
with
communities
so
that
they
will
be
part
of
the
celebration.
So
we've
got
a
very
extensive
project
which
is
being
run
through
same
sky
called
field
of
dreams
and
that's
involving
a
huge
range
of
artists
and
schools
and
young
people,
and
they
will
come
together
on
the
day
that
the
flame
arrives
in
cambridge
and
they'll
be
part
of
the
huge
celebration.
I
Well,
I'm
at
litchfield
hall
and
we're
working
and
making
some
small
creations
which
will
be
part
of
a
bigger
our
installation
on
parker's
piece.
J
H
L
Just
doing
a
sky
really
some
stars
and
moon
and
maybe
put
a
an
olympic
torch
on
there,
it's
good
to
get
down
here
and
mix
with.
H
Forever
active
is
very
much
working
with
the
older
generation
in
the
city
and
we're
very
keen
that
we
provide
as
many
opportunities
for
people
over
the
age
of
50
to
take
part
in
in
sport
and
physical
activity.
Olympic
dust
has
really
sprinkled
all
over
the
city.
We
feel
now,
especially
since
all
the
countdown
days
encouraging
people
and
getting
people
excited
about
the
olympics.
A
N
P
We've
got
a
lot
of
young
people
with
disabilities
here
today,
but
actually
sport
can
reflect
from
different
parts
of
the
county,
different
ages,
different
ethnic
backgrounds.
It's
just
a
great
way
of
bringing
people
together,
so
yeah
sport,
I
think,
can
do
so
much
and
that's
why
I'm
passionate
about
sport
and
that's
why
we
love
organising
events
like
this
this
year.
R
Oh,
it's
a
fantastic
event.
It's
just
so
encouraging
to
see
so
many
athletes
from
all
different
walks
of
life
to
participate
in
sports
here
actually
find
a
sport
that
is
suitable
for
them
and
that
they
can
participate
at
a
really
good
high
standard.
It's
so
competitive,
it's
unreal
and
so
enthusiastic.
It's
brilliant!
It's.
T
U
A
A
W
Y
See
you
get
inspired
when
you
find
something
new
when
you
try
something
you
never
thought
you
could
do
so
go
and
be
the
you.
You
want
to
be
not
just
the
you
that
you
think
others
want
to
see
because
there's
more
to
life
than
walking
idly
by
and
just
letting
things
be.
There
is
so
much
left
for
our
eyes
still
to
see
but
yeah
at
times,
inspiration
can
be
lacking,
but
it
ain't
going
to
be
found
by
sitting
back
and
slacking
so
start
making
things
happen.

cycle

More
than
600
cyclists
set
off
from
jesus
green
in
cambridge
to
raise
money
for
various
local
charities.
The
big
bike
ride
was
an
active
and
fun
day
that
encouraged
families
to
cycle
together.
Kettle's

is
a
cambridge-based

This

modesty

try

it's

This
exhibition
is
the
first
ever
to
focus
on
the
han
period
of
ancient
china.
The
olympic
torch
has
come
from
beijing
to
london,
and
this
exhibition
is
china's
cultural
contribution
to
the
cultural
olympiad.
Here
we've
had
an
organization
called
chinese
families
together,
which
have
come
and
worked
with
us
on
developing
their
own
guide
for
young
people
to
the
exhibition
and
put
together
a
booklet.
We've
also
had
a
group
called
jump
cuts
and
they
are
using
this
exhibition
and
the
things
in
it
as
the
beginning
for
documentary,
which
looks
at
the
spirit
of
the
emperor.

The
olympics
makes
sport
accessible
and
of
interest
to
a
wider
group
of
people.
It
does
the
same
thing
for
art
as
well,
just
starting
to
reach
new
audiences
people,
who
wouldn't
ordinarily,
go
to
an
art
gallery,
for
example,
and
in
this
instance
there's.

people
who
just
happen
to

AN
AS
AT
Today's
paralympic
flame
event,
it's
a
it's
a
way
of
celebrating
the
paralympics
in
in
finland.
The
point
about
sport
is
it's
good
for
people,
it's
good
for
your
heart,
good
for
your
soul
and
that's
true
of
people
of
all
ability,
celebrating
diversity
celebrating
the
fact
that
sport
is
available
to
all
is
really
important.
AV
AG
M
If
it
lives
up
to
anything
that
I'm
imagining,
which
I'm
expecting
it
to
go
beyond,
it
will
be
the
best
experience
of
my
life,
I'm
georgina
billan,
I
live
in
cambridge.
I
study
at
hills,
road
and
I
play
goldball
for
great
britain.
Goalball
is
a
sport
designed,
especially
for
blind
and
visually
impaired
people.
You
play
on
a
volleyball
sized
court.
You
have
nine
metre
goals
down
either
end
and
you
have
three
aside.
So
you
all
wear
blindfolds.
M
So
it's
a
level
playing
field
and
have
a
heavy
ball
with
bells
in
it,
which
you
throw
from
your
end
to
the
opposite,
end
to
try
and
score
in
their
goal,
and
when
it's
returned,
you
have
to
use
your
body,
throw
yourself
across
the
floor
and
try
and
block
your
goal.
When
I
found
out,
I
was
selected
for
the
olympics,
I
was
so
excited.
It
felt
amazing.
M
It
was
kind
of
pretty
surreal
as
well,
actually
because
it's
something
you've
been
focused
on
for
so
long
and
been
hoping
for
that
when
it
actually
happens,
you
really
have
to
pinch
yourself.
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
the
first
moment
that
I
walk
out
into
the
into
the
arena
and
have
the
whole
audience
cheer,
because
it's
just
gives
me
butterflies,
even
thinking
about
it.
AY
AY
AX
It's
unbelievable.
It's
it's
hard
to
explain
in
towards
the
feeling
you
get.
You
know
when
you're
actually
out
there
competing
for
your
country
in
in
the
olympic
games.
You
have
to
have
a
lot
of
determination
and
dedication.
You
know
you
have
to
you
have
to
turn
up
to
every
session.
You
know
trying
your
hardest.
I
think
any
any.
AY
Type
of
athlete
trained
at
the
top
of
their
game
and
there's
no
stranger
to
hard
work
and
sacrifice
and
all
those
commitments
that
they
have
to
make
and
if
you
can
combine
that
with
enjoying
yourself,
then
you're
on
for
a
winner.
You
know
I
don't
want
to
add
pressure
on
myself
by
saying
I've
got
to
get
a
certain
medal
or
listening
to
all
the
hype
around
the
media.
I've
just
got
to
go
there
and
do
what
I
do
best,
which
is
just
compete,
and
I
just
want
to
be
the
best
gymnast.
I
can.

I
was

learned
how
to

enjoyed
swimming
on
the
great
britain
team
won
world
championship
titles,
one
paralympic,
titles,
retired
from
swimming,
took
up
cycling
and
also
world
championships
in
cycling,
as
well
as
paralympic
gold
medals.
Well,
london
was
my
fifth
paralympic
games
and
it
was
the
best
paralympics.
I've
ever
been
to
I've,
never
known
anything
like
it.

The
venues
were
amazing:
the
crowds
were
out
of
this
world
and
they
were
the
bit
that
really
made
the
games
in
the
velodrome.
We
were
riding
around
that
when
a
gb
rider
was
on
track,
you're
talking
nearly
120
decibels
of
volume,
and
even
if
I
race
in
front
of
a
full
house,
it's
never
going
to
be
the
same
as
that
home
crowd
at
the
paralympics.

spinning

today
we're
doing
eventual
training
which
is
really
exciting,
because
we've
got
cambridge
big

and
torture

coming
up.
The
volunteering
events
project,
which
is
across
the
county
funded
by
cambridge
county
council
until
september,
is
looking
at
the
legacy
looking
at
people,
volunteering
in
their
local
communities.
AF

AY
The
facility
that
we
train
in
is
just
you
know,
one
of
the
best
we've
got
excellent
coaches
and
excellent
support,
and
I
think
all
of
that
hard
work
and
the
backing
from
cambridgeshire
has
produced
one
of
the
best
clubs
in
the
country
yeah.
So
it's
a
real
hot
spot
in
terms
of
getting
kids
involved.
It's
a
nice
environment
to
be
a
part
of
so
very
privileged.
M
AJ
D
Everyone
well,
I
hope
that
people
will
be
inspired
to
take
up
some
form
of
sport,
get
involved,
think
about
the
things
that
they
and
their
families
can
do,
because
we
know
that
if
people
do
that,
then
they'll
feel
healthier.
They'll
feel
good
it'll
be
great
for
families,
that's
the
sort
of
legacy
that
would
want
the
olympics
to
lead.
U
I'm
sure
that
the
olympics
will
inspire
our
communities
and,
if
it
encourages
more
people
to
engage
in
sport,
participate,
try
something
out
that
look.
Ups,
never
thought
about
before
keep
people
more
active,
fitter,
healthier,
that's
exactly
what
we
want
from
the
olympics
and
I'm
certain
that's
going
to
be
the
case.
