Power On Water



CACHE Productions in association with the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery, Power On Water profiles world class Paralympic swimmer Tammy Cunnington from Red Deer, AB. The story is a powerful portrait of her life, her passion for sport and her single-minded focus on getting to the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio.

Cunnington was six years old when she was struck by an airplane at a Ponoka, Alta., air show in April 1982. The accident left her a paraplegic with the full use of her right arm, plus her core and shoulders.

Tammy Cunnington sends a strong message of perseverance against all odds. The film recaps Tammy’s journey to the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio and the enormous challenges she faced getting there.
