His personal achievement stands in stark contrast to the bleak expectations placed on him by his parents at birth. Richard Oribe, al otro lado de las medallas is a documentary about Richard’s life. A man marked by severe physical and communication limitations who, against all odds, managed to achieve unimaginable goals in his childhood and generate empathy and affection from the people around him.
