The hidden journey of the most successful Olympic sailing team.

Located on the tiny island of Portland, England, lies the most successful Olympic sailing team in the world. Chasing Tokyo follows a small group of athletes from the British Sailing Team who - tucked away from the mainstream eye - venture to one of the most uncertain Olympic Games in history as the world, and their sport, changes around them. Chasing Tokyo shines a light on Eilidh McIntyre, a young female sailor who is competing at her first Olympic Games alongside Hannah Mills. Mills is destined to become the most successful Olympic female sailor of all time - but only if Eilidh can defy the pressure of her debut Games and grow from the shadow of her gold medalist father. Chasing Tokyo poetically unravels a mindset rarely seen in sport by gaining unprecedented access to Olympic sailing athletes as they walk the tightrope of Covid-19 all the way to Tokyo, Japan. As the island community watches on, hopes and dreams hang in the balance.
