The golden era of Australian sport boasts a roll call of athletes who went on to become household names. Unstoppable is the story of one Olympic athlete - though you may not even know his name.

Duncan Page, 'Dunc', or 'Pagey' to his mates, is one of the unsung heroes of that storied generation. From his days as a jackaroo and then bellboy aboard a cruise ship, to lifesaver in the Channel Islands and his gun-wielding shenanigans in Texas, wherever he went, Duncan Page never lost his cheerful, hardworking, knockabout nature.

He wore the green and gold with great pride, and together with his mates, Don McMiken and Peter Macken, represented Australia in Modern Pentathlon at several World Championships and two Olympics. Never mind they only ran fifth at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics; that's only part of the story. What happened along the way - now, that's the real story.

Unstoppable tells the story of a legendary sportsman, who despite crippling setbacks, let nothing stop him from realising his Olympic dreams.
