Gibsons Heritage Playhouse: Film Showing – COPA 71

March 3 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

$10

UK, 2023, 90 min, Sport Documentary
Director: James Erskine, Rachel Ramsay
Executive Producers: Serena and Venus Williams
Starring: Evera Aracen, Janice Barton, Brandi Chastain and others

In this inspiring documentary, the filmmakers use archival footage and new interviews to tell the story of the unofficial 1971 Women’s World Cup, a moment virtually erased from the history of soccer thanks to the pettiness and bias of FIFA.
Copa 71 uncovers a wealth of archival footage from 1971 when Mexico City held an international event billed as the Women’s World Cup. Teams came from Argentina, Denmark, England, France, Italy, and Mexico, playing a tournament to over 100,000 fans in Azteca Stadium. It was an unparalleled audience for women’s sports. (TIFF)
