One in a Million

Story

DOCUMENTARY One in A Million tells the story of two girls. Whitney is from the USA, a passionate gymnast and successful YouTuber, and Yara from Germany is her biggest fan. Despite being thousands of kilometres apart, the two are united by their love of gymnastics and the glittering world of social media. This coming-of-age film portrays the apparently different girls’ everyday life and how each tries to make their way, while dealing with the challenges of success and loneliness and first loves.
