Documentary

An astonishing, almost detective story about the football World Cup, which took place 20 years ahead of its time, but nobody ever found out about it. Screening as part of Beat Film Festival 2024.

In 1971, the world’s best women’s football teams met in Mexico and played a tournament full of beautiful goals, dramas and plot twists. After that, they returned home only to face not admiration but mockery.

This timely doc tells a fascinating, shocking story about a forgotten moment in football history

— Rosie Hewitson, TimeOut

Why did FIFA try to bury a tournament that it was supposed to glorify? Why did the participants of the 1971 Cup themselves hardly ever spoke about it? Rachel Ramsay and James Erskine’s film answers these questions and diagnoses the entire society of the 20th century.
