PROJECT INFORMATION

  • Amie Donathan, an amputee football player and biomedical engineering student, is on a mission to get amputee football into the 2028 Paralympics. If She Sees follows her as she builds a global community of female athletes, challenges disability stigma, and proves the power of sport to inspire resilience and break barriers.

  • If She Sees follows Amie Donathan, a determined amputee football player and biomedical engineering student, as she pursues her dream of getting amputee football included in the 2028 Paralympics. Her story intertwines athleticism, academia, and global advocacy, showcasing her resilience and innovation. Amie is not only a skilled athlete but also a leader, building networks of female amputee players worldwide and challenging societal perceptions of disability.

    The documentary’s narrative combines Amie’s personal journey with broader themes. Act One introduces her passion for amputee football, a sport that only requires inexpensive crutches, a ball, and a place to play. Act Two delves into the challenges she faces—cultural stigma, limited resources, and systemic inequities—while exploring the impact of war, like the conflict in Ukraine, which has led to a rise in amputees seeking support through sports. Act Three culminates in Amie’s ultimate mission: advocating for amputee football on the world stage, striving to make the world say “WOW,” not “Aww.”

    This inspiring story celebrates resilience, equity, and the power of sport to break barriers and reshape societal narratives.
