There’s something remarkable about the fact that some people involved in professional soccer still consider this tournament to be practically an unofficial display with no real importance. But watching it reveals the genuine sense of honor that the athletes from six different teams brought to Mexico when they competed. James Erskine and his team did a commendable job locating numerous participants and uncovering old footage—though somewhat blurry, it’s perfectly acceptable—along with recordings of the celebratory atmosphere in Mexico during 1971. The storytelling and narration strongly criticize the male-dominated environment that existed within the sport, along with the medical professionals who advised them, which restricted women's involvement. Although the documentary doesn't try to present a balanced view by including opposing viewpoints about possible risks for female players or interviews from FIFA or UEFA explaining their choices, it remains a compelling portrayal of how welcoming soccer can be as an activity. The people featured are interesting; one Danish player, for example, made the point that she’s capable of knitting and operating a chainsaw, so there's no reason why she couldn't play football.
