"Kick Like A Girl"

"Kick Like A Girl" is an inspirational half hour documentary film that follows happens when “The Mighty Cheetahs”, an undefeated third grade girls soccer  team competes in the boys division.  The uplifting and victorious film premiered at the 23rd international Santa Barbara Film Festival on February 2, 2008  to a sold out audience.

With humor and honesty this documentary reveals the reality of the boy-girl issues and what "Kick Like A Girl" really means on and off the playing field. The film is narrated by 8 year old Lizzie, a self described soccer girl, who doesn't let juvenile diabetes, elbow blocks or grass stains interfere  with her desire to compete.  Refreshing and triumphant Kick Like A Girl reminds us all of the lessons learned in competitive athletics and how sports has been one of the most effective instruments of social change in our lifetime.

Kick Like A Girl was recently nominated for a prestigious Women's Sports Foundation “Billie” award for the postitive portrayal of girls and women in the media. The documentary will be screening at other film festivals all over the world over the next year and will be available to purchase online in early March.  Please check the Kick Like A Girl website for festival screenings dates, dvd purchase information, and private screenings/motivational motivational speaking engagements:  www.kicklikeagirlmovie.com
