This is one of those earnest, well-intentioned documentaries that checks all the right boxes for enriching content but realistically might be a tough sell for modern kids.
The subject matter is important—following Hispanic girls navigating poverty and systemic barriers while trying to use soccer as their ticket to college—and it's the kind of story that builds empathy and awareness. But as a 2015 documentary short with limited distribution and modest production values, it's going to feel dry compared to what kids are used to watching.
It's solid for a classroom setting or if you're specifically looking to expose your kids to stories outside their bubble. Just don't expect them to choose this over literally anything else on Netflix. The 7/10 IMDb rating suggests it's competently made but not groundbreaking, and the 'Comedy' genre tag seems like a database error—this appears to be straight documentary.
If you can find it and your kid is interested in social justice, sports, or documentary filmmaking, it's worth 20-30 minutes. Otherwise, there are more engaging ways to have these conversations.
