1930s female champions represent! Introducing one of the greatest female athletes you’ve never heard of.
It's 1936 and 19-year-old Nora Young is a multi-sport champion, brimming with trophies, talent and an indomitable zest for life. Breaking into the "weird and wonderful" world of men’s Six-Day bike racing, she seizes a rare opportunity to become one of few female cyclists to compete on a velodrome track "on the old speed saucer." Combining hand-drawn, rotoscope, digital puppet, and photo animations; narration by virtuoso singer/songwriter Sarah Slean (who also composes for the film); and interviews with Young (age 95) telling her own story more than 70 years later, UNDENIABLY YOUNG: NORA YOUNG & THE SIX-DAY RACE finally gives a groundbreaking, nearly forgotten athletic hero her rightful place in history.
