Formidable can-do spirit and an inability to accept disability characterize this inspiring portrait of Jessica Cox, a 29-year-old Arizona native born without arms.  Raised as normal in every way by her determined parents, she soon transcended every limit, becoming a dancer, black belt martial artist, college graduate, and motivational speaker. Filmmaker Spark follows Jessica’s audacious next phase, as she becomes the world’s first armless airplane pilot, explores her Filipino heritage, and launches a new career as a global activist for people with disabilities.  DCP digital.  (BS)
