FROM THE ASHES | Kane Francis

Seven months after tearing his adductor completely from the bone, with a 7cm retraction and a hernia, Kane Francis returns to competitive strongman with one goal...

To retain his title as England’s Strongest Man.

From the Ashes is a cinematic short documentary following Kane’s journey back to the competition floor after a career-threatening injury. A former England’s Strongest Man and World’s Strongest Man competitor, Kane’s future in the sport was uncertain, not just physically, but financially and mentally.

With surgery made possible through a community fundraiser, and months of rehabilitation behind him, this film captures the reality of what it takes to come back when everything is stacked against you.

This isn’t just a comeback story.

It’s about dedication, belief, and showing up when quitting would be easier.
