Runtime: 1 hour, 52 min

When two teenage girls defy expectations to pursue their dreams of playing professional soccer, they hatch increasingly elaborate schemes to keep their matches a secret from their families. In this British cult classic starring Parminder Nagra and Kiera Knightley, a shared love for the game inspires friendship, independence, and self-belief--proving that determination and a little creativity can make even the biggest dreams possible.

Presented as part of Manhattanville Community Day.
