More about A Level Playing Field
A Level Playing Field will follow three national women’s football teams as they each compete for the chance to play at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The narrative will offer an intimate look at the brave faces and lives behind the distressing statistics concerning gender inequality in Mexico, Papua New Guinea and Ghana. The three national team captains will be our eyes throughout the film, and their unique voice off the field will tell the story of what it means to be a woman in a country they are called to heroically represent. Through interviews and candid footage of the players’ day-to-day routines, we hope to capture the passion, sacrifice and everyday struggle they must endure to play football in a country where gender inequity and violence are real-life obstacles. We hope to draw parallels across countries as to how the sport has led our heroines towards personal growth and has transformed their stories into visible examples for future generations.
