Immersive and intimate, the film portrays a determined artist who became more than a pop star—she emerged as a cultural catalyst. Highlighting her reinventions, bold provocations, and personal losses, it reframes her ascent as not just fame, but identity forged.

By race day, the question isn’t who podiums—it’s how far determination, teammates, and a town’s backing can carry ordinary people beyond their limits.
