The highly anticipated documentary "Watershed," co-directed by five-time Paralympic medalist Mallory Weggemann and her husband Jay Snyder, will make its theatrical debut on July 11, 2024 with a special one-night screening across 60 select AMC theaters nationwide before its release on Peacock on July 16, 2024.
"Watershed" delves into the extraordinary life of Mallory Weggemann as she trains for the Tokyo Paralympics amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The film provides an intimate portrayal of her journey, capturing the highs and lows of her athletic career alongside her and Jay’s personal struggle with infertility and undergoing IVF. Self-documented by Weggemann and Snyder, the film offers a raw and authentic glimpse into their lives, highlighting their resilience and determination while aiming to provide authentic representation for the disability community and shine a light on the importance of IVF.
The premiere comes on the heels of Weggemann’s recent achievement of securing her spot for her fourth Paralympics, a milestone she’ll be preparing for as she breaks new ground as the first Paralympian to host Olympic coverage for NBCUniversal on E! and CNBC at the upcoming Paris games.
“This documentary is a piece of our hearts and we’re thrilled for audiences across the country to experience it,” said Weggemann. “It’s been such an incredible opportunity to bring our story to the world while addressing the representation void that I felt so profoundly after my paralysis. It is our hope that the film inspires others to face their own watershed moments with courage and determination.”
“'Watershed' allowed us to share a truly intimate chapter of our lives,” Jay Snyder added. “We’re so grateful to AMC for their support in bringing this film to the public, allowing us to spark important conversations that we believe will resonate deeply with those watching.”
