Description

WORLD PREMIERE As the clock counts down to the 2023 Women’s World Cup, the Reggae Girlz, the Jamaican soccer team, face uphill battles for recognition, respect, and resources. Suffering from financial struggles and institutional neglect, the team boldly confronts the soccer federation, finding surprising allies at home and abroad. With stunning Jamaican landscapes and a vibrant reggae soundtrack, this uplifting underdog story is a joyful celebration of perseverance, pride, and the power of women in sport. - Karen McMullen

The first and second screenings will be followed by a Q&A with director Trish Dalton and film participant Deneisha 'Den Den' Blackwood.

All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
