Matti: Hell Is for Heroes

Directed by Aleksi Mäkelä

Produced by Solar Films

A darkly comedic biography of a celebrated athlete's spectacular fall into addiction, violence, and self-destruction after his glory days end.

Four Olympic gold medals, seven World Championship titles, four World Cup tour championships, and forty six World Cup circuit victories. Once his career as a professional athlete ended however, the other side of his personality emerged into public view in all of its vulgarity. An alcohol dependency, several marriages accompanied by numerous marital problems, petty crime, uncontrolled acts of violence, and greedy hangers-on.
