Where the Sky Begins

In 1929, twenty fearless women, led by the bold Florence “Pancho” Barnes, embark on the perilous National Women’s Air Derby, challenging societal norms and the Hollywood narrative that relegates them to mere participants. As they race across 2,800 miles of challenging terrain in fragile aircraft, these aviation pioneers, including legends like Amelia Earhart, face not only the physical dangers of flight but also sabotage threatening their lives and dreams. United by their determination to prove women belong in the skies, they confront high-speed chases, emergency landings, and courtroom battles in a gripping story of courage, sisterhood, and resilience in aviation history.
