- Plot Leo Messi, Il Miglior Giocatore di Tutti i Tempi Alessandro Ruta
Billie Jean King, one of the greatest tennis players of all time, tells her story for the first time, amidst extraordinary sporting successes and a first-hand commitment to the civil battles that have changed our society.
A career studded with records - for six years number one in the world, twenty times winner of the Wimbledon tournament, winner of thirty-nine Grand Slam titles - which is intertwined with the culture that inspired her in those years: women's movements, violence and pacifism of the sixties, the struggles for civil rights and LGBTQ +.
In 1973, her victory in her match against Bobby Riggs, which became known as "the battle of the sexes", revolutionized women's sport forever and gave a decisive boost to gender equality in all fields. Billie Jean King describes the challenges she had to face - entrenched sexism, eating disorders, financial hardship - to publicly acknowledge her identity. She tells about her tireless life between sports, politics, leadership, love and parenting, and reveals how to express herself openly she has finally released her happiness.
"Everything at stake" is the story of a revolutionary woman, an exceptional athlete and an indomitable character, whose victories have reached goals that go beyond the boundaries of sport.
