Stronger Than You Think  
Feature Documentary   [ 100MIN ]

Days after her college graduation, a snorkeling trip turned tragic when champion swimmer Ali was attacked by a shark. Against staggering odds, she survived, but the loss of her leg forced a profound physical and emotional reckoning. Determined not to be defined by trauma, Ali chose to reclaim her story and inspire others through her resilience. Channeling her lifelong discipline, she set her sights on the 2024 U.S. Paralympic Team, just one year after the attack. 
“Stronger Than You Think” follows her path from recovery to triumph, revealing the power of courage, purpose, and an unbreakable spirit.
