Rocket Girl

Synopsis

For her empowering documentary, Polish-American filmmaker Agnes Swiercz zooms in on Eleni – a young girl who, like countless women including the director herself , was told she would never be 'as good' as her male counterparts. Eleni pursues her passion of building rockets under the affectionate gaze of Swiercz’s camera, this one-of-a-kind portrait of girlhood within the male-dominated domain of Aerospace engineering. We can learn a lot from Eleni's perseverance and commitment to being great. Sometimes even the sky itself isn’t the limit.
