The most difficult part of filming "Power of the Dream" was getting the gymnast to make a mistake. The actor is a real gymnast, at the International Elite level, and has been trained all her life not to make mistakes. Falling off the beam was a real challenge to her! Yet she did very well. This spot also has an extra layer of meaning for those who know ESL (English Sign Language), which the hearing impaired gymnast and her coach are using to speak to each other.
