#RACEGIRL – DAS COMEBACK DER SOPHIA FLÖRSCH
Germany 2023 – Director: Sonia Otto – Original with English subtitles (DOK.edit extended Q&A with director & editors) – Length: 95 min.
Since she was four years old, Sophia Flörsch has trained to fulfil her life’s dream – to be a Formula 1 racing driver. And she is good. Really good in fact. But what does that mean in an industry fixated on men, where only drivers whose families can provide them with start-up capital have a chance. But giving up is not an option for Sophia, despite all the setbacks. It means everything to her. Ysabel Fantou
