Freedom in the Sky

As a child, Gillian Wintermute was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. She spent a decade battling the disease. Her dreams were her only refuge, where she imagined outdoor adventures far beyond her hospital bed. Freedom in the Sky tells Gillian's story of resilience from a patient to a pioneer in the paramotor world. Today, she travels the globe in her vintage Volkswagen van, alongside a vibrant paramotor community, chasing the wind and teaching others to find their own horizon. And, she's building a legacy for others. Currently, she's spearheading the first-of-its-kind paramotor training program in the U.S. dedicated to female pilots. “My mission is to inspire more females to get into this sport.” - Gillian Wintermute.
