Plot Synopsis

In November of 2018, at 38 years of age, Pau Gasol injures the navicular bone of his left foot. After many setbacks, and two surgeries, Pau begins his recovery to do something no professional athlete has been able to do before: play again. His goal is clear: to compete in the Tokyo Olympics. The COVID-19 pandemic hinders Pau's recovery from the scaphoid injury. Still, despite the restrictions and limitations, he persists in his efforts to return to the basketball court while continuing to work on other personal projects. On the other hand, the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics gives him more time to recover...but that also means he will arrive at the Olympics at the age of 41. During his recovery process, Pau receives several adverse medical reports about the evolution of his injury. Even so, he continues to pursue his goal of returning to the courts. He must join a competitive team to get in shape for his fifth Olympic Games. After evaluating several options, Pau decides to join FC Barcelona, the club where he made his professional debut more than 20 years ago. His goal is to help the team win the Spanish ACB championship and the Euroleague, while preparing to reach the Tokyo Olympics. He has also set his sights on being elected as a member of the International Olympic Committee Athletes' Commission. All four episodes of PAU GASOL: IT'S ABOUT THE JOURNEY dropped on Friday, November 12, 2021 on Amazon Prime Video.
