Synopsis
Misty Copeland was the first African-American female soloist at New York's American Ballet Theatre in two decades. Her career was a challenge to every stereotype of what the ballerina symbolizes and should be. And Misty's life embodies a number of themes that speak to the larger culture and her personal challenges -- race, body image and Euro-centric perspective are mixed in with her own physical challenges.
