Women’s Football Tour – Film Show & Discussion Women

Film of 2017 women’s football tour to Palestine with introduction and Q&A with film maker and footballer.

This documentary film follows a group of women footballers from the UK and Germany on the football trip of a lifetime to Palestine.

Whether playing organised matches in West Bank refugee camps or informal kick-arounds on the rock-strewn pitches of hill-top villages of South Hebron, football is the common language as cultural barriers are crossed and new friendships established.

The film’s poignant testimonies highlight cultural issues surrounding local women’s participation in sport as well as the struggle to remain steadfast on their homelands.
