Film: SHE RUNS THE WORLD

Directors: Perri Peltz and Matthew O'Neill
Allyson Felix is the most decorated track and field athlete of all time. At the peak of her career, Felix happily discovers she is pregnant with her first child. But the pinnacle of Felix’s personal and professional life turns into a public flashpoint when a fight for maternal protections in sports and a life-threatening complication triggers a high-stakes showdown with the most powerful brand in athletics. But Felix turned her personal and professional battles into a movement, acting as a catalyst for change in her sport and spaces beyond it. Delve into her meteoric rise and battle that changed the game not just for her, but for countless women athletes across the country.

Tribeca alumni Perri Peltz and Matthew O’Neill capture Felix’s flair and candor in a way few can match. Her story, enhanced by the perspectives of her family and team, takes us through the dizzying peaks and daunting valleys of a professional athlete constantly looking to push the bar.
