Today, Ironheart Productions released the debut trailer for their documentary, HEART: Flatline to Finish Line. Theirs is the first feature-length documentary “to capture the heart of Ironman triathlon”.

HEART: Flatline to Finish Line follows six individuals who suffered heart disease as they work towards finishing an Ironman triathlon.

Director David Watkins was inspired to create the film based on his own experience, having flatlined on his heart surgery operating table for five minutes. Watkins was inspired to complete an Ironman after he survived his near-fatal congenital heart defect and a subsequent stroke.
