Documentaries are one of my favorite genres of filmmaking. This film stands with the best of them. It's an awe inspiring film. It showed me a world I knew anything about and introduced me to group of women who stand as role models for, not only for women, but for everyone, to relentlessly reach and achieve their goals, no matter how daunting the journey might seem. Everyone in this film found a courage, strength, and passion in themselves that perhaps they didn't even know they had before they entered a sport dominated by men. This film is a testament to the fortitude and commitment of anyone who doesn't think they can achieve what seems absolutely impossible. The film is also a testament to working as hard as it takes to reach the finish line and Jill Morley is to be commended and recognized for spending so many years working on a project filled with such passion.
