Jessica Cox movie out on DVD

Filmed in Africa, the Philippines, and locations in the U.S., the movie documents Cox’s personal journey, including her aviation journey from flight training and first solo to her certification, as well her present mission of campaigning for the rights of people with disabilities around the world through advocacy and work with nongovernment organizations. Producer and director Nick Spark captured the story of how Cox transformed “from victim to conqueror, showing how determination can overcome most anything,” according to a news release, adding that the film goes beyond Cox’s personal transformation and her determination to fly and is also a story about the triumph of human spirit.

Cox addressed the International Women in Aviation Conference in March, telling the gathering of nearly 5,000 men and women from 16 countries that she has had to prove herself to skeptics many times, long after confronting and overcoming her own fears. Those skeptics made Cox take a driver’s test twice before being convinced she is safe behind the wheel. She also had to try several flight instructors before finding the right fit, and aircraft, an Ercoupe, in which the toughest challenge she faced was fastening the four-point safety harness. Cox told attendees not to let fear rule their decisions, calling fear nothing more than “false evidence appearing real.”
