Director Mary Mazzio captures the seismic moment when the first all-female crew entered the fiercely competitive world of the America’s Cup, the legendary sailing competition long considered the exclusive domain of men. Aboard the Mighty Mary, a team of pioneers, world-class sailors, and Olympians set out to do more than compete: they challenged 144 years of tradition and forced the sailing establishment to reckon with its assumptions about who belonged on the water. Dismissed by some as a publicity stunt, the crew proved the naysayers wrong, becoming a formidable presence and a powerful emblem of change. MIGHTY MARY is a rousing story of courage, teamwork, and persistence, revealing how one bold act can ripple outward to shift culture, expand possibility, and open doors for generations to come.
