our lift off documentary
22nd June | 13:30-15:30 | Soft Ground, The Moor
"Our Lift-Off" tells the story of UK women's football, drawing from the powerful narrative of "All Our Goals."
From Emma Clarke's inspiring journey to the grassroots efforts in Sheffield, the documentary sheds light on the struggles faced by ethnic minority players.
It uncovers cultural barriers, resource limitations, and the lack of role models, all hindering their participation.
Featuring England's trailblazing black captain, Mary Phillip, the film offers invaluable insights into overcoming obstacles.
It celebrates community groups tirelessly bridging gaps, fostering inclusivity in the sport.
Ultimately, it sparks a vital conversation: Will UK women's football truly embrace diversity? The documentary beckons for collective action, urging for a more inclusive future.
