The Fastest Woman on Earth - AND her Team
Inspiring and heartbreaking (and not just for racing fans)
This documentary following Jessi Combs was inspiring and heartbreaking. On her relentless journey to break the women's land speed record, Jessi connects with Kitty O'Neil, the woman that set the record 40 years earlier. The most compelling parts of the documentary were the comparison of Kitty's and Jessi's experiences as women excelling in a sport dominated by men, as well as Jessi's pursuit to be a leader and role model to women wanting to pursue trades where women are not often represented.
The racing footage was impressive and includes runs from multiple years, and the introduction to the sport was enough to provide background to viewers unfamiliar with land speed racing.
