The Forces is a curious dive into the world of jockeys, capturing their intense training and the fragility of their bodies. The documentary adopts this school-like method of storytelling, which feels both structured and oddly intimate. You get a sense of the camaraderie and the weight of expectation these young athletes carry. The pacing is contemplative, allowing moments of reflection, while themes of growth and physical limitations churn beneath. It's striking how the film contrasts the smallness of the jockeys with their ambitions, the very essence of a body that's always on the brink. It's not just about racing; it’s about the fragility of youth and dreams interwoven with sport.
