An uplifting portrait of India’s first female professional skateboarder, 24-year-old Atita Verghese by Berlin-based director Adi Halfin (previously featured here). The latest film in Toyota’s “Start Your Impossible” series, and the second Halfin has done for the campaign, this instalment follows Atita as she discusses her role in challenging gender roles across Indian society:
“Who says what’s feminine and what’s not? It’s up to us women to define it. Young girls need to understand that you can be strong, get on the skateboard, and be feminine all at the same time.”
