About THe Film

Directed By Julia Fuhr Mann | 2023 | 79 min

If history is written by the victors, where does that leave those who were never allowed to be part of the game? A collective of queer athletes sets out to honour those who were excluded from the winners’ podium. Together they create a radical utopia far from the rigid gender rules in competitive sports.

Screenwriting by Julia Fuhr Mann | Produced by Fabian Altenried, Sophie Ahrens | Starring Annet Negesa, Amanda Reiter, Caitlin Fisher, Daniel Marin Medina, Chun Mei Tan, Eva Maria Jost, Jakob Levi Stahlberg, Oumou Aidara, Greta Graf
