Forward (Directed by Alex Luchsinger, Documentary, U.S.) – Amazing. Marine Corps Major Ashley Christman is battling stage four cancer—but she refuses to give up. Determined to stay in the Corps, she pushes her body to the limit, competing in elite-level endurance sports to prove she’s still fit to serve. Her wife Melissa & their young son Archer watch in awe as Christman fights not just for her career, but to leave behind a legacy of strength.
