REGGAE GIRLZ featuring Q&A with filmmaker Trish Dalton In a David vs. Goliath saga, the Jamaican women’s football team, affectionately known as the “Reggae Girlz,” rose from obscurity to challenge global giants France and Brazil in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, defying all odds and capturing the world’s imagination with their unyielding spirit. Off the field, the team was stymied by institutional neglect and meager resources that nearly cost them their chance at the tournament, but their perseverance and talent won out. With a groovy soundtrack featuring the music of Bob Marley — whose daughter, Cedella, was appointed ambassador for the Reggae Girlz — this inspiring documentary captures the soul of Jamaica by way of a group of women fighting for glory. With the next FIFA Women’s World Cup just around the corner in 2027, the Reggae Girlz will soon have another chance to achieve their dream. NOT RATED
