We are beyond excited that this documentary is out in theaters, because it is an event that we all should have grown up hearing about! COPA 71 shares the erased history of the 1971 Women's World Cup (more than 20 years prior to the first FIFA sponsored Women's World Cup), which was held in Mexico City and attended by more than 100,000 fans.
Director Rachel Ramsay joins us via zoom to explain her shock in finding out about this massive event that has been purposefully wiped from history, the extensive search for archival footage that continued until two weeks before they finished the movie, the emotional impact of the story, and getting major players like Alex Morgan, Brandi Chastain, and Venus and Serena Williams on board.
