Dir. James Erskine, Rachel Ramsay, UK, 2023, 90 mins. With. Elvira Aracen, Brandi Chastain, Birte Kjems.
Told by the pioneering women who participated in it and built from archives unseen for fifty years, this is the extraordinary story of the 1971 Women’s Football World Cup.
August 1971. Football teams from England, Argentina, Mexico, France, Denmark and Italy are gathering at Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium. The scale of the tournament is monumental: lavish sponsorship, extensive TV coverage and crowds of over 100,000. The atmosphere is reminiscent of the greatest moments in international footballing history. But the players on the pitch are all women. And it’s likely you’ve never even heard of it. Dismissed by both FIFA and domestic football associations around the world, this event has been entirely written out of history - now it's time to celebrate the tournament and its players like it deserves.
