LADIES SPOTLIGHT FILM: Marinette

LADIES' SPOTLIGHT FILM
Marinette Pichon is the pioneer of French women’s soccer and the first French player, male or female, to have a career in the US. The film follows her fight to spread awareness of women’s rights in sports. A path full of pitfalls, from a childhood ravaged by an alcoholic and violent father to the heavy burden of coming out in an era without LGBTQ+ rights. Her success in sports will fuel her desire to make a difference in recognizing French women’s soccer, homosexuality, and equal opportunity. Marinette is a story of a woman’s life, a fighter, an uncompromising ode to freedom, to surpass oneself.
