04/19/2020 This has terrible dubbing and seems to follow every beat of quintessential sports-inspiration students. This woman's story deserves to be told and is truly an inspiring one... but the way this film shows it almost cheapens it.

She is a true trailblazer, and as such, she has many challenges. See more Read all reviews
