Extraordinary Women in Film series: Winning Girl


From award-winning Hawaiian filmmaker Kimberlee Bassford, Winning Girl is an inspirational film that follows the four-year journey of Teshya Alo, a part-Polynesian, teenage judo and wrestling phenomenon from Hawai‘i. Teshya is only 16 years old and 125 pounds, but on the judo and wrestling mats, she dominates women twice her age and pounds heavier. Now Alo has her sights set on taking the Olympic gold at both the judo and wrestling world championships – and in doing so would be the first to accomplish that feat. Released in 2014, 70 minutes. Free.
