Anesia(2001)

Join this fascinating flight through the time.

Anesia is a documentary portrait of pioneering aviator Anésia Pinheiro Machado, recorded shortly before her death at 93. Through intimate interviews, Machado reflects on a lifetime spent breaking barriers in aviation during the 20th century. She recounts her passion for flying and the obstacles she faced infiltrating an industry dominated entirely by men. Her story charts the arc of modern aviation history while capturing the determination of one woman who refused to accept the limits placed on her. Anesia stands as a testament to early female aviators and their fight for recognition in a male-dominated field.
