<div>Kenya, a country famous for producing world-class runners is overlooking one of its fastest athletes… <em>simply because she is deaf.</em>
</div>
<div><strong>30-year-old Deaflympics world-record holding sprinter Beryl Wamira</strong> is running her final races in Tokyo next week — <strong>with almost no one cheering, no support, and no recognition.</strong>
</div>

<div>Beryl isn’t just racing; she’s defending her world records and gold medals alongside her siblings, <strong>Rael and David</strong>, who are also elite deaf sprinters.
</div>
<div><strong>The </strong><a href="https://www.deaflympics.com/games/tokyo-2025" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>2025 Tokyo Deaflympics</strong></a> <strong> marks 100 years since the first Games, and for Beryl, this could be her last opportunity to compete on the global stage.</strong> While Kenyan Olympic champions are rewarded with millions and national acclaim, <strong>Beryl’s achievements have gone largely unnoticed. Her pursuit of excellence is an act of resilience, courage, and defiance against systemic neglect.</strong>

<div>I met Beryl nearly two years ago at Pallet Café in Nairobi and from the moment I learnt of her story, I couldn’t believe how this champion was literally hiding in plain sight. <strong><em>For Your Eyes Only</em></strong> is my debut documentary as a filmmaker — a project I’m building from the ground up with faith and love to make sure the world sees, hears and celebrates Beryl’s world-class talent and unbelievable life story.
