Ride Like a Girl

[Machine Translation] This is the miraculous true story of the life of Michelle Payne, the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup, the greatest race in Australian horse racing. Michelle is played by Teresa Palmer (Hacksaw Ridge) and her father is played by veteran actor Sam Neill, who has appeared in many major films including the Jurassic Park series, The Great Escape (13), Train Mission (18) and Peter Rabbit (18). The film is directed by Rachel Griffiths, who is also an actress. This is her first feature film as a director. --Michelle Payne was born the youngest of 10 children. Her mother dies in a car accident when she is only six months old, but she grows up healthy and happy with her father and many siblings. The Payne family is a horse-racing family, with the father a trainer and most of the siblings horsemen. By the time Michel hit puberty, he had a strong desire to become a jockey. She eventually makes a spectacular debut, but suffers a serious injury from a fall from a horse that could affect her life as a jockey.... Michelle takes on the "Holy Grail" of the horse racing world, which had been thought to be impossible for a female jockey to win, with her late mother and her family in her heart.
