Ananda Media Adds “Positive All the Way” Documentary to Programming

POSITIVE ALL THE WAY , an award-winning documentary about the Paralympics is now available internationally through Ananda Media. The short documentary, produced by The Foundation for Global Sports Development (GSD) and Sidewinder Films, won “Best Documentary” at the Together! 2020 Disability Film Festival .

With personal interviews and captivating footage, POSITIVE ALL THE WAY celebrates the power of adaptive sport to ignite the human spirit. The film chronicles the growth of the Paralympics under the leadership of Sir Philip Craven, who served as the President of the International Paralympic Committee from 2001 through 2017. Staying true to the integrity of sport and his personal principles, Sir Philip led the sports organization through moments of crisis – such as funding shortfalls and the 2016 Russian doping scandal - while positioning the Paralympics as a leading sports organization.

"Ever since I first met Steven Ungerleider and David Ulich in 2011, I very quickly realized that the true spirit of sport is embodied in everything that The Foundation for Global Sports Development and Sidewinder Films undertakes,” said Sir Philip Craven, who is featured in the film. “In my work with the International Paralympic Committee, I tried to follow that principle and to also follow very closely the vision of the IPC which was ’to enable Para athletes to achieve sporting excellence and inspire and excite the world.’ This is what I believe Sidewinder Films portrays in POSITIVE ALL THE WAY , and I am so pleased that they have partnered with Ananda Media in order that many more people can experience the true spirit of sport!”

"The Paralympic movement reaches across the globe and plays a remarkable role in promoting inclusion worldwide,” said David Ulich, director and producer of the film. “We are delighted to partner with Ananda Media to bring POSITIVE ALL THE WAY to international audiences who can join this movement.”

Dr. Steven Ungerleider, director and producer of POSITIVE ALL THE WAY, agreed. “Sport has the power to change the world, and we are passionate about telling those stories through film. Working with Ananda Media is a perfect fit, and we are honored to have our documentary featured alongside other compelling sports films.”

ARIS Recognized as a Leader in First Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Digital Twin of an Organization Platforms, Believes This Reinforces Need for Trusted Governance and Control of Enterprise AI30.7.2026 18:00:00 CEST | Press release

ARIS, the process context platform enabling enterprise AI deployment, today announced its recognition as a Leader in the inaugural Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Twin of An Organization (DTO) Platforms – where it believes agentic AI, autonomous workflows, and enterprise governance converge. As enterprises move from AI experimentation to autonomous agent deployment, a critical challenge emerges: how do you safely scale autonomous AI when the enterprise lacks a unified digital twin – a single source of truth for processes, data, governance, and outcomes? Gartner describes the DTO as a dynamic software model that relies on operational and contextual data to understand how an organization operationalizes its business model, connects with its current state, responds to changes, deploys resources, simulates future states and delivers customer value. "Enterprises are rightfully ambitious about agentic AI and autonomous workflows," said Guillaume Bacuvier, CEO of ARIS. "But they're discove
