What's this about?
The young woman on the left comes from a conservative (I think Muslim) family that doesn't like her playing soccer. The movie is about her navigating the pressure. It's been a while but I remember it being pretty good
Sikh family, but broadly speaking you got it. It's a really nice coming of age movie that passes the Bechdel test easily (there is a hint of boy drama, IIRC, just not out of proportion to being a teenager), and it's also a very accurate slice of life portrait for English Sikhs, if my experiences with my wife's extended family are any indication.
IIRC the original plan was for them to be gay, but the studio nixed it. It’s a good movie, but damn I wish that had happened; would have been great for me to have a movie like that back then
I know we speak about movies here, but if you haven't seen it, the TV show Lady Parts is really good and has a lot of those themes. It is about the members of a punk music group of Muslim women, it is really good. There are two season of 6 episode of about 40 minutes.
Woman's football if I remember correctly.
