Marta Diaz de Lope Diaz (Espagne, Portugal)

Based on a true story of struggle and passion, Pioneras delves into a pivotal era in 1970s Spain. Against a backdrop of fascism that remains deeply entrenched, young women obsessed with soccer and a visionary young sports promoter join forces to create Spain’s first professional women’s soccer team.
Muddy vacant lots, offices clouded by cigarette smoke, and cramped apartments set the stage for a fast-paced, funny, and inspiring story. It’s the story of a feat that was both athletic and societal, one that defied an ultra-conservative political system. It’s the story of the perseverance of a group of courageous young women. A thrilling film that appeals to a wide audience, far beyond just soccer fans!
