This was compelling in that it sheds light on the unique challenges women face in professional sports - not just as athletes, but as women navigating systemic inequality. It highlights Felix's powerful story, especially in her contract battles with Nike, which, while possibly dramatized to focus on gender rather than age, still underscores real industry issues. Some parts perhaps leaned toward overstatement (an issue of course not unique to this documentary), but the core message was definitely impactful: women in sport are still fighting for equity in nearly every domain (pay and benefits, media, status, just to name a few). It definitely left me more informed. We also had a light Q&A with the director where I got to ask about "the most pressing current inequity we should be aware of" which was personally really special.
