THRESHOLD is more than a sports documentary—it’s a raw, unflinching portrait of resilience. Centered on Jessie Diggins, three-time Olympic medalist and the most decorated American cross-country skier in history, the film reveals the painful struggle behind her trademark grit and smile: a battle with an eating disorder at the height of her career.
Told over the course of a single, high-stakes season, THRESHOLD unfolds in real time. Cameras embed with Jessie and the U.S. Ski Team, capturing the relentless pressure of elite competition—from punishing races above the Arctic Circle to a historic World Cup return on American snow. Interwoven are formative moments from Jessie’s past, tracing how a perfectionist drive and the belief that body control equaled success quietly took root.
What emerges is not a retrospective, but a living, breathing reckoning—where progress and pressure collide. The film offers rare intimacy, exposing a disorder that often hides in plain sight and remains widely misunderstood.
Yet THRESHOLD is ultimately about hope. By allowing herself to be seen in moments of vulnerability, Jessie challenges stigma and redefines strength. Recovery is not linear. Relapse is not failure. Asking for help is not weakness.
In reclaiming her health, Jessie protects not only her legacy—but her love for the sport.
