Film Screening: Copa 71
April 23 @ 7:15 pm CDT
/ $12 – $15Event Navigation
This event is being held in-person and is open to everyone.
Years before the first Women’s World Cup in 1991 was COPA 71: a hundred thousand people packed into Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium to watch the world’s finest female soccer players compete for the world title, an event lost to history. Until now.
Featuring teams from Denmark, Mexico, Italy, Argentina, France and England, Copa 71 galvanized football fans around the globe… and then it was gone. Long lost to history, executive producers Serena and Venus Williams, with filmmakers Rachel Ramsay and James Erskine, plumb incredible archival footage and conducted interviews with stars of the tournament, as well as current women’s soccer champions, to create one of the most striking and emotional sports documentaries ever made.
Join the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival on April 23 for a special Global Minnesota night, highlighting the rise of women’s professional soccer.
