Jessica Jerome

	Lindsey Van

Jessica Jerome and Lindsey Van are currently the United States of America’s best chance for an Olympic gold medal in women’s ski jumping; the only catch is that ski jumping and Nordic combined (a combination of ski jumping and cross country skiing) are currently the only winter Olympic sports without women’s divisions.

'Jump like a Girl' is a documentary that follows the struggles of Van, Jerome, and their peers as they push for a women’s division in ski jumping at the Olympic level. The film is a compilation of news footage, home videos, and video that chronicles over two years in the lives of Van and Jerome. The film records key moments in women’s ski jumping like the first ever Continental Cup for women and a bitter battle between the International Ski Federation (FIS) and women ski jumpers over their right to ski fly (ski jumping off of a hill larger than K180).

At the heart of the film are Van and Jerome, two teenagers striving to be the best that they can in the sport that they love. To find out what happens keep checking our “News” page for upcoming screening so you can experience what it is truly like to 'Jump like a Girl.'
