An uplifting portrait of a team chasing a hard-won goal, this documentary drew warm praise for how thoroughly it follows their journey. The direction gives each person on screen a distinct presence, opening windows into their personal lives and the stress and intensity running through the crew, and the structure lets those individual goals and personalities come through with real clarity. Creative camerawork and generous coverage keep the whole thing engaging, and the panel found the payoff genuinely inspiring.
