UNSTOPPABLE: The Mikaela Shiffrin Story
Coming to Netflix – Spring 2025
From a childhood on the slopes to becoming the greatest alpine skier in history, UNSTOPPABLE takes viewers behind the scenes of Mikaela Shiffrin’s extraordinary journey.
This intimate documentary follows the American skiing phenomenon through the defining moments of her career—from her first World Cup victory at 17 to shattering Ingemar Stenmark’s seemingly unbreakable record of 86 World Cup wins. But beyond the medals and records lies a story of resilience, perfectionism, and the profound human struggle with expectation.
Through exclusive access to Shiffrin’s private life, rare archival footage, and candid interviews with family, coaches, and rivals, UNSTOPPABLE reveals the unseen challenges behind her public triumphs. The film explores her technical brilliance on the slopes, her meticulous preparation, and the mental fortitude that sets her apart in a sport where victory and defeat are measured in hundredths of seconds.
The documentary doesn’t shy away from Shiffrin’s darkest moments—her shocking DNFs at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, the devastating loss of her father in 2020, and the relentless pressure of being the face of winter sports. Yet it’s in these moments of vulnerability that Shiffrin’s true character emerges.
“This isn’t just a film about skiing,” says director Anna Richards. “It’s about the pursuit of excellence, the cost of greatness, and finding joy in the journey when the whole world is watching.”
UNSTOPPABLE: The Mikaela Shiffrin Story – A testament to the power of perseverance and the unquenchable spirit of a champion who redefined what’s possible on the slopes and beyond.
