MAKING IT explores the unrelenting pursuit of success for female athletes and the complex and often conflicting ideas of when one can truly "make it." Whether it's the achievement of certain milestones, reaching a certain income level or winning the biggest competitions, the drive to keep improving and pushing beyond these points is a constant pressure. Being a woman in a male-dominated field brings additional challenges to being taken seriously and getting enough attention from sponsors. The documentary examines the high cost of training and competing and the ethical considerations of sponsorship, as well as the struggles of those who may never achieve their goals.
