Nicola Adams, Natalie du Toit, Sarah Attar and Rose Lokonyen were all first - they share their story in this powerful and emotional documentary.

But what does being first actually mean?

Winning is a win for one. But firsts are a win for everyone.

They unlock something in humanity and move the world forward.

Breaking through. Breaking the cycle. Breaking the glass ceiling. Speaking about the power of firsts can change the world.

In this series, we explore the story of four incredible Olympians and Paralympians – Nicola Adams, Sarah Attar, Natalie Du Toit and Rose Lokonyen as we explore - what's the power of being first?
