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)
