Buoyant
A brave story of a mom raising her extraordinarily talented children with a vision of greatness and a level of determination that guided them to the heights of athletic prowess and personal integrity. Honest and forthright with interviews and stories that highlight Wella's philosophy of parenting, as she documents the families journey onto the international stage -- the hard work and focus required, her mistakes from faux pas to devastating errors of judgement, the support teams required and all of the joy and the excitement.
