Determined ski jumping champ Lindsey Van and her USA teammates fight to compete in the Olympics, which doesn't allow women to compete in that sport. Already able to outdo the world's best male ski jumpers, Van goes up against the naysayers.

Plot

Ready To Fly is that all-too-rare, true story of a woman hero who triumphs over massive obstacles to not only achieve her dream, but to change the world for other women in the process. We follow Lindsey Van and her women's ski jumping family through their 15-year fight to achieve gender equality in the Olympic Winter Games. A character-driven documentary of pluck and determination, Ready To Fly will make you laugh, cry, and leave the theater feeling empowered. It's a stand-up-and-cheer movie.
