THRESHOLD is the story of Olympic gold medalist and most decorated American cross-country skier ever, Jessie Diggins, and the struggle behind her smile--a painful fight with an eating disorder at the peak of her career. This feature documentary is much more than a sports story; it's a visceral, human account of vulnerability, stigma, and recovery, unfolding in real time. Through unprecedented access to Jessie and those closest to her, the film offers an intimate look into the complexity of a disorder that often hides in plain sight yet remains tragically underrepresented in film and misunderstood in care.
