A celebration of courageous women and a moving reminder of the power of the female spirit.

Louise Minchin went from presenting BBC Breakfast to competing for the GB Triathlon Team. Driven to bring more attention to female stories, she embarks on adventures with trailblazing women who are breaking down barriers, smashing records and challenging stereotypes in the world of sports and endurance.

She freedives under the ice in the dark in Finland with the first woman to swim a mile in the Antarctic Circle; she cycles across Argentina with one of the world's most famous female endurance runners; and she swims from Alcatraz with two teenage sisters who have braved the shark-infested waters over 70 times.

With her natural empathy and sense of humour, Louise forms close bonds with 18 incredible women. She explores what drives them and how they find the resilience and determination to go on despite life's setbacks. Lizzie overcame a life-threatening illness and now paddleboards whilst cleaning up the planet with her community; Rhian set up a charity in the face of grief and fundraises through hikes; and Zee took up rugby alongside her busy nursing career and motherhood.

Join Louise on a roller coaster of highs and lows, and feel empowered, touched and inspired by these fearless women.
