Pushing 40, wheelchair badminton champion, Nina Gorodetsky, faces her first (and possibly last) chance to make it to the Paralympics. However, she also wants to have a baby, putting her in the crosshairs of a ticking biological clock both as a mother AND as an athlete. Then, as if that wasn’t daunting enough, everything comes to a screeching halt due to a worldwide pandemic. Nina is an Athlete tracks Nina’s unpredictable three-year journey to defy the odds and realize her Paralympic dream while staying true to her maternal desires.
