Street footballer Rocky Hehakaija presents 3 films about female athletes

Get ready for the Women’s World Cup with 3 IDFA films about women and sports as selected by street football star Rocky Hehakaija. On June 8, don’t miss Rocky’s introduction at our Women’s World Cup film special: a screening of Freedom Fields at Cluppi.

Meet Rocky Hehakaija: world famous street footballer, director of Favela Street Foundation, and special guest at our fast-approaching Women’s World Cup film special. In short, she’s a true rock star – both on the field and off.

In the lead up to our June 8 screening, Rocky has selected 3 must-see films about women and sports from the IDFA online collection. Whether at school, in the water, or on the dance floor, these documentaries uplift us and smash stereotypes at the same time. It’s the perfect preview to Freedom Fields, in which female football players fight to play in a country where their sport is forbidden.
