Copa 71

Dir. Rachel Ramsay, James Erskine

Years before the first Women’s World Cup in 1991 was COPA 71: a hundred thousand people packed into Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium to watch the world’s finest female soccer players compete for the world title, an event lost to history. Until now.

Featuring teams from Denmark, Mexico, Italy, Argentina, France and England, Copa 71 galvanized football fans around the globe… and then it was gone. Long lost to history, executive producers Serena and Venus Williams, with filmmakers Rachel Ramsay and James Erskine, plumb incredible archival footage and conducted interviews with stars of the tournament, as well as current women’s soccer champions, to create one of the most striking and emotional sports documentaries ever made.

“A defining moment in women’s sports history captured in 90 minutes of nostalgia and pure exhilaration.” –Dwight Brown
