The women of SC Heerenveen

A film about the premier league women’s soccer of SC Heerenveen.

Formerly, whenever a girl put her mind on becoming a professional soccer player, sarcastic remarks were often the result. With the arrival of premier league women’s soccer in 2007, things started to change. But, a great gap continues to exist between the worlds of male and female soccer.
In this documentary, we follow two female players of SC Heerenveen during the last months of the competition. They yearn for more appreciation as well as more supporters. The question is whether they will succeed.
