Memoirs of Amanda

2025 · 17 min · Documentary

Amanda’s world was shaped by the harsh echoes of her parents’ criticism, and this shattered her self-esteem as a child. At the age of 74, Amanda is a testament to the transformative power of self-achievement. Defying the odds has led her to set her sights on one final, seemingly insurmountable goal: completing the 109 km Cape Town Cycle Tour for the 23rd time.
