The Herricanes: The Must-Watch Women’s Football Film is Here!
Football fans and trailblazer enthusiasts, get ready for a story that’s as inspiring as it is game-changing. The Herricanes, the film that brings the untold story of women in football to life, is finally within reach. And we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you!
Why The Herricanes Is a Must-Watch
In a world dominated by men’s football, The Herricanes shines a much-needed spotlight on the fearless women who defied expectations, broke barriers, and left their mark on the game. It’s a celebration of resilience, teamwork, and the unrelenting passion that brought these women to the field.
The Houston Herricanes were a part of the first women’s full tackle football league in the 1970s. Their unknown story is one of commitment, courage, and strength. Despite adversity and hardship, they fielded a team purely for the love of the game. What they started was a movement that is still in motion today.
The Herricanes faced minimal support from the public during the 4 years they played. They were teased and joked at both in their personal lives and in the stadiums they played in. But every bit of the support they lacked from the community, they found with each other. These groundbreaking ladies from all different walks of life came to the field with little to no experience but together, they stuck with it for as long as finances would allow and they made history even if it hasn’t been told yet.
Today women’s football still faces the same struggles endured by the Herricanes 40 years ago. Thanks to Title IX, the amount of girls and women participating in sports has grown exponentially since 1972. However, football remains to be the final frontier for women in sports. Springing off of the Herricanes’ story, we explore the greater question: what does it mean when the number one sport in America is only visibly played by men?
Whether you’re a die-hard football fan, a history enthusiast, or simply love stories about powerful women shaking things up, this film is guaranteed to leave you inspired.
