Executive produced by Serena and Venus Williams. It is August 1971, and teams from England, Argentina, Mexico, France, Denmark, and Italy gather in Mexico City for a watershed soccer tournament. Lavish sponsorship, extensive TV coverage, merchandise on every street corner, and over 100,000 roaring fans turn the historic Azteca stadium into a cauldron of noise while a fawning media treats the players like rock stars. This is the greatest show on earth but, despite being one of the most ground-breaking moments in soccer history, you’ve probably never heard of it. And why? Because the players are all women, and the heroic event that unfolds, has been sidelined from history – until now. The tournament ignites the flame that eventually leads to the explosion of women’s soccer around the globe. With interviews from Megan Rapinoe and Brandi Chastain and a thumping ‘70s soundtrack driven by female singer-songwriters.
