The film pays tribute to 7-time F1 champion Michael Schumacher and F1 race director Charlie Whiting.
Heroes is a documentary film about four racing legends - 2-time F1 world champion Mika Hakkinen, Ferrari F1 driver Felipe Massa, 9-time Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen and WRC runner-up Michele Mouton, with the focus primarily on 7-time F1 world champion Michael Schumacher.
Heroes is written by Manish Pandey - the man behind the film Senna that told the story of the life and death of the Ayrton Senna.
In the latest documentary, Mika Hakkinen talks about his rivalry with Michael Schumacher right from the junior categories of racing. The on-track battles between them have been among the greatest spectacles in F1.
Lakeland couple sings to celebrate wife s coronavirus recovery
Jordan Bowen reports
LAKELAND, Fla. - A Lakeland man who used music to help his wife cope with COVID-19 in the hospital is now reunited with her just in time for Christmas.
It s a husband and wife reunion Christi White wasn t sure would happen. It s amazing to think of how far I ve come. To think that a little over a month ago I don t know if I was even going to be here, Christi White said.
In mid-October, Christi was hospitalized for weeks with a severe case of COVID-19, which meant her husband Charlie couldn t see her in-person so he turned to music. Christi s nurses helped coordinate special Facetime calls so Charlie could sing to her.

The first time Ebiye Udo-Udoma saw handball being played was during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He was a highschool student at the time and didn’t know much about the sport but he knew he wanted to be a professional athlete.
Today, Udo-Udoma is one of the top players in the world of Beach Handball, a variation of indoor handball but played in the sand and with slightly different rules. He’s lived near Hermosa Beach since 2016, where both the women and men’s National Beach Handball teams are now based.
