Script to introduce Film - Trinidad's new hero
Jehue Gordon is a track athlete from Trinidad and Tobago and well known in his home country. When he was at school he worked hard in class and on the sports field.
He burst onto the international stage in 2009 when he was just 16 years old and ran the 400m hurdles in 48.26 seconds.
While Jehue excelled at school and on the track, some of the people he grew up with have taken a different path.
Some of his school friends are teenage parents, while violent crime has left others in jail, or even dead as a result of gun crime.
Jehue remains focused on achieving his goal of winning a gold medal at London 2012.
He believes sport and his strong faith have helped him to avoid getting in to crime.
In this film, Jehue talks about how he hopes to inspire others.
