The World at Their Feet - The Legendary Story of the U.S. Women's Soccer TeamComments This is the best movie to show ANYONE how Woman's soccer has evolved! It also shows how the soccer players are really people, not celebrities! It's amazing to see how far they've come as a team and hear many different people talk about different events (the players themselves, coaches, new reporters ect.) I would highly recomend this for anyone!:) My family really enjoyed this DVD. It was informative and interesting listening to the players perspective of the sport. Our daughter has been playing soccer for the last 14 years and we have followed the U.S. Women's team. We really enjoyed this DVD. This is a magnificent story that must continue to be told. This story is for young athletes (starting at 8) and for their parents. Young women soccer teams should gather and watch it together and try to imagine a world where they would not have access to their sport. It is so easy to forget how far we have come during this generation encouraging and celebrating our female athletes. Since the advent of Title IX in 1972, we have begun the journey of equality for girls and young women in access and participation in sports, availability of college athletic scholarships, and access to professional sports careers with fair pay. The young women in this video were pioneers and heroines and what a story they created as they made their way to the World Cup and the Olympic games and pioneered the women's soccer league. The archived footage used to tell the story is magnificent. A video of a similar genre but with a story that predates Tile IX is the documentary "Billie Jean King: Portrait of a Pioneer". You have to see this one, too. |
