Description

Kick Like A Girl is the story of what happens when “The Mighty Cheetahs," an undefeated third grade girls soccer team competes in the boys' division. With humor and honesty, this documentary reveals the reality of gender stereotypes and what "Kick Like A Girl" really means on and off the playing field. The film is narrated by 8-year-old Lizzie, a self-described soccer girl, who doesn't let Type 1 diabetes, elbow blocks, or grass stains interfere with her desire to compete. Refreshing and triumphant, Kick Like A Girl reminds us all of the lessons learned in competitive athletics and how sports has been one of the most effective instruments of social change in our lifetime.

    After raising a boy that played all sports quite well and growing up before title 9 this was for me. I'm a huge fan of our Women's National Team and to see the heart and soul of these little (only in size) girls was amazing. I'm sure as time goes on there will be more combined-gender sports at younger ages and we won't even think about it any more. Just watch these magical girls and how they approach sports and life. Fantastic film.
