100% Woman (2004): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 2004, 100% Woman is a notable film directed by Karen Duthie, running about 59 minutes.

What it’s about. 100% Woman begins as Michelle Dumaresq's mountain-bike riding career did, careening down a rocky path to be met with controversy. From some critics comes cautious concern, from others, complete attack. At the centre of it all is the past of this extreme athlete, the first 20-odd years of life that Michelle spent as Michael. In 2002, Dumaresq became the first openly transgendered woman in the world to be named to a national team in any sport. Beginning with her days on the BC race circuit, to the Canada Cup, the national title and a berth at the World Championships, her progress is dogged by constant scrutiny, both from fellow competitors and the media. Dumaresq insists she doesn't race to make a stand, but doesn't shy from being a trailblazer. She grew up in turmoil over her identity and struggled to come to terms with herself as an adult, even with her parents' whole-hearted support. She takes on the mantle of role model because she understands how isolated others like her feel.

How it landed. With an audience score of 9.0/10, 100% Woman sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
