Nina is an Athlete
Wheelchair badminton champion, Nina Gorodetsky, has her first and maybe last chance to make it to the Paralympics. However, she is negotiating a ticking biological clock both as an athlete and as a woman. Amidst debating what would she be willing to sacrifice to realize her Olympic dream, everything changes: the stopwatches of all the world’s athletes come to a screeching halt due to a worldwide pandemic. “Nina is an Athlete” tracks her unpredictable three-year journey to defy the odds and fulfill her athletic aspirations while staying true to her maternal desires.
WHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: This film is about so many things—the challenges of balancing work and family life, disability, sport, a non-political look at the life of someone representing Israel on the world stage.
BONUS PROGRAMMING: In person Q&A with filmmaker Ravit Markus.
