The filmmakers made clear at the very start of the 105-minute project that the U.S. Soccer Federation, the team’s employer, declined to participate. But they also failed to explain both sides of a complicated issue.
At one point, the team’s lead counsel, Jeffrey Kessler, outlines the USSF’s position in the gender-discrimination case and the players’ side. No one outside the plaintiff’s circles was interviewed, except TV analyst Julie Foudy, a former player. Nary an expert on sports law appears.
The film is strictly from the perspective of the players and their legal team, a behind-the-scenes peek at a gender discrimination lawsuit filed in the buildup to the 2019 World Cup and one that continues today.
