Its female lineup of world class talent including Alexia Putellas, Lauren James, Caroline Graham Hansen, Farah Jefry and Leah Williamson are rewriting the rules and shattering stereotypes. Euro-conquering heroes, Champions League legends, prolific scorers, Ballon d’Or Feminin and Women's Super League royalty, this all-star lineup are defining dominance. On and off the pitch, their jaw-dropping skills, dynamic personalities, and unapologetic flair are changing the game.
The production was managed by Merman Branded in collaboration with Copa90 for PEPSI. The story was brought to life by an all-female production team and a predominantly female crew directed by Nicole Ackermann, edited by Amanda James at Final Cut alongside cinematographer Jamie D. Ramsey (All of Us Strangers) and the remarkable 1st Assistant Director Clara Paris. Their shared vision and dedication have resulted in a powerful and captivating film.
Ackermann says; “I’m so excited to help create a space that not only gives women’s football the podium it deserves, but also amplifies its voice. I’m deeply passionate about elevating women’s narratives in sports and showcasing the transformative power of sport and how it empowers women from all walks of life.”
