Girls Don't Fly offers an intimate glimpse into the aspirations of two young women in rural Ghana as they take their first steps toward aviation. The documentary captures this unique setting—a mix of airstrip, classroom, and hangar—with a grounded atmosphere that lets you feel the weight of their dreams. The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to soak in the challenges and triumphs Lydia and Esther face as they navigate a male-dominated field. There’s something particularly poignant in the way their determination unfolds; it’s not just about flying, but about breaking barriers. The film doesn’t shy away from the practical realities of training, showcasing genuine performances that evoke both struggle and hope. It’s a distinctive portrayal of ambition in a landscape often overlooked in aviation narratives.
