The Untold Stories of Indian Women’s Football
Speakers
The Untold Stories of Indian Women’s Football is a series of 6 short films about women footballers in India. Shot as candid interviews, the raw expression of the protagonists as they share their sporting journeys, provides a rare insight into an ecosystem that runs on passion.
