One in a Million

Two teenage girls live in different continents but are connected by their screens. Whitney Bjerken has a million YouTube subscribers; she creates challenges and posts updates on her training. Yara idolizes Whitney and follows her every move. As time progresses, Whitney starts looking for other sources of content outside gymnastics. Yara discovers a new side to her personality, which develops in tandem with Whitney's ever-expanding online activity. Joya Thome's cautionary film about our increasing attachment to social media reflects on the limits of what we can - or should – share online.

One in a Million erzählt die Geschichte von zwei Mädchen, die erwachsen werden: die Turnerin und YouTuberin Whitney Bjerken und Yara, einer ihrer größten Fans. Ein Dokumentarfilm über Erfolg und Einsamkeit, Freundschaft und erste Liebe, das Coming-out als queer und den Mut, die eigene Stimme zu finden.
