Synopsis
An inspirational work about the empowerment of women who overcome obstacles as athletes and as human beings, covers an extraordinary event called ‘Jump for the Cause’ which, last year, brought together 181 women from 31 countries to create a World Record All-Women’s Skydiving Formation and raised almost $1 million dollars for breast cancer research. Along with phenomenal skydivers, the film features breast cancer survivors, cutting edge researchers, doctors and healers.
