Short List Shorts: Women Are the Strength

16 min

Through home videos and voicemails, a young Filipino-American soccer player relives her team’s historic World Cup win—culminating in a return to her roots and a journey that is both personal and profound.

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Reina Bonta.

All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
