“Lfg” is the latest example of how women must work twice as hard to earn just a fraction of the respect — and in this case, the money — that their male counterparts get. The new documentary, named after a pre-game rallying cry (“let’s f—ing go”), follows the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team as all 28 players sue their own federation in demand of equal pay.
The team filed the lawsuit in March 2019, less than three months before the World Cup victory that would cement their status as the most successful team in women’s soccer and render the wage gap an unavoidable issue. Although the lawsuit was partially settled last year, “Lfg” asserts the fight is far from over.
Ahead of Uswnt’s hotly anticipated appearance at the Tokyo Olympics this summer, check out some of the biggest revelations from their battle off the field.
