Guests are directors and brothers, Lars and Torsten Brinkema. Unfolding over the course of a single, high-stakes cross-country ski season, THRESHOLD follows Olympic gold medalist Jessie Diggins as she pushes herself to compete at the highest level while battling a severe eating disorder. and recovering from injuries that threaten to derail her career. Filmed in present-day vérité, from Arctic Circle races to the first World Cup on American snow in twenty-five years, THRESHOLD asks what happens when a sport built on precision and control turns that same demand inward, and what it costs to compete while fighting for your own recovery. Through unprecedented access to Jessie and those closest to her. Illuminating the struggle between progress and pressure, the film is a testament to the importance of mental health in athletics. Threshold is widely available for streaming and rental on platforms like Prime Video, Apple TV, and YouTube.
