Rising Phoenix features Paralympians from across the world and was due to be released in tandem with the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games but the world health crisis led to them being postponed until 2021. But the film will still be released this year, on August 26.
Harry has been a big supporter of the games - even before he got married and stepped away from the public spotlight.
