Director Michele Hozer and subjects Diana Matheson/Christine Sinclair will be in attendance at the September 23 screening.
Filmed over the course of two years, director Michèle Hozer’s THE PITCH offers rare behind-the-scenes access to a bold attempt to change the game — a universal story of resilience, leadership and a refusal to play by the old rules.
When Olympic soccer star Diana Matheson retires, she sets out — alongside fellow players — to build something that has never existed: a professional women’s soccer league in Canada. What follows is a modern David-and-Goliath story, as they confront institutional resistance, doubters and naysayers and the weight of doing something for the first time.
