A documentary about the life of Finnish skier Mika Myllylä is currently in the works, directed by Sean Ricks. This film will include personal home video footage that Myllylä recorded featuring his family, notably following the doping scandal during the 2001 Lahti World Championships. Ricks, who gained recognition from the Yle network's Friday program, will be making his directorial debut with this project alongside editors and documentary filmmakers Ville Hakonen and Jussi Sandhu.

Ricks reflects on Myllylä's dual nature as both an extraordinary athlete and an ordinary person, sharing insights about the skier's prominence in the hearts of the Finnish public, especially those who grew up in the 1990s. The film aims to explore Myllylä's life, including his achievements as a six-time Olympic medalist and his role as a father of three children, known for his unwavering determination and willpower.

Additionally, the documentary will delve into the complex emotions of shame and anger that Myllylä and his family faced after his conviction for doping during the World Championships. By portraying both the highs and lows of his life, the film aspires to shed light on Myllylä's multifaceted character and the challenges that accompanied his athletic career.
