Overview

At the peak of her career, Allyson Felix risked everything to outrun an industry. When her sponsorship pay was threatened for becoming a mother, the most decorated track athlete in history didn’t just walk away, she fought back. Refusing a private deal that left other women behind, Felix launched her own brand and ignited a global movement for maternal protections. Spanning 35 years of archival footage, She Runs the World demonstrates the power of standing your ground and redefining the finish line.
