5m 20s
Directed by Matthew Bate • Animation • 2021 • 5 minutes
In Iran we go undercover with soccer superfan Sara, who has never been allowed to see an actual game since the government banned women from going to stadiums in 1981. But Sara is no ordinary fan, she has been a leader in a female led activist movement campaigning to allow women into stadiums, risking imprisonment and beatings for her work. With unique access to this amazing woman, Sara recounts how she manages to be a supporter despite the ban, and how she snuck into Russia to see Iran play Morocco during World Cup 18, risking everything just to see her country play football.
