"Touch The Wall" Documentary to Debut November 15, 2014

Per NBC Olympic Talk, “Touch the Wall,” is a documentary film covering Missy Franklin‘s journey to the London Olympics. The film will debut November 15, 2014 at the Denver Film Festival.

Franklin, who won five medals and four golds in 2012, trained with 2004 and 2008 Olympian Kara Lynn Joyce in the run-up to the London Games. Joyce, a four-time Olympic relay silver medalist, also made the London Olympic team and did not reach the semifinals of her only event, the 50m freestyle. The film follows the different stories of Franklin and Joyce, who are separated by nine years.
