Sometimes funny but always heartfelt and deeply personal, Carle Precht and Kathleen Man's documentary also details the stories of athletic luminaries David Scott, Ellen Hart Pena, and Brenda Maller in addition to featuring commentary by cultural critic Naomi Wolf, author Paul Campos, and playwright Eve Ensler. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
