TURN SUBTITLES ON VIA "CC". This is "Beyond the Board," the maiden documentary film from Woman In Action Studios, in partnership with Red Bull, telling the inspiring story of the Philippines’ first skateboarding Olympian, Margielyn Didal.
After a remarkable performance at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where she reached the Finals in Skateboarding’s debut event, Margie captured hearts worldwide with her bright personality and fighting spirit. Despite facing a major setback with a fractured ankle on the road to the Paris Games 2024, Margie's resilience continues to inspire.
Rising from the dusty streets of Cebu, Margie Didal is no stranger to adversity. She began her skateboarding journey by selling noodles in a skatepark to make ends meet and borrowing boards from fellow skateboarders who became her first coaches. Her natural talent and competitive spirit led her to the national team, where she put skateboarding on the Filipino map by winning Gold at the 2018 Asian Games and two Golds at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games. Now, she faces a new challenge: recovering from her injury to qualify for the Paris Games 2024, showcasing her determination and strength.
This documentary delves into the pressures faced by Filipino Olympians, the journey of professionalizing skateboarding, and Margie's quest to inspire the next generation of athletes. This documentary premiered on Go Skateboarding Day, June 21 at the Power Plant Cinema and was also seen on Cignal TV’s ONE NEWS and ONE PH.
We hope that you enjoy this film!
