About

Drag racer Alfie is on a mission to break a new land speed world record. But when things don’t go to plan, will his ADHD and autism give him superpowers to cross the finish line?

Alfie started riding motorbikes when he was just four years old. Fast forward six years, and he is now competing in a drag racing championship and attempting to break land speed records.

Diagnosed with ADHD and Autism at the age of eight, Alfie discovered a unique outlet for his energy and a source of focus on the race track. The sport captured his attention in a way nothing else had and also introduced him to fellow competitor, and now best friend, Jack.

As Alfie gears up for the racing season, he must deal with the challenge of mastering a brand new, more powerful motorbike that he hopes will propel him to higher speeds. However, with increased power come fresh challenges.

Q&A

This special family screening will be followed by a Q&A with Alfie and the film’s directors. The screening will be hosted by actor and CBBC host Kia Pegg (The Dumping Ground) and New Voices Bradford winner Irene Kaali.

My Life on CBBC and BBC iPlayer is a critically acclaimed documentary series featuring incredible children with amazing, inspiring and thought-provoking stories. In 2025, two episodes will focus on children from Bradford.
