REGGAE GIRLZ

WORLD PREMIERE As the clock counts down to the 2023 Women’s World Cup, the Reggae Girlz, the Jamaican soccer team, face uphill battles for recognition, respect, and resources. Suffering from financial struggles and institutional neglect, the team boldly confronts the soccer federation, finding surprising allies at home and abroad. With stunning Jamaican landscapes and a vibrant reggae soundtrack, this uplifting underdog story is a joyful celebration of perseverance, pride, and the power of women in sport. – Karen McMullen

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with co-directors Trish Dalton and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, executive producer Cedella Marley, and film participants Deneisha ‘Den Den’ Blackwood and Coach Lorne Donaldson.
