    Storyline

    Edit
    Three months before the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, the players filed a class-action, gender discrimination lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation, which sets the stage for LFG. The film interweaves transcendent athletic performances, including a record-breaking World Cup victory in 2019, with the players' ongoing pursuit for equal pay. LFG grants viewers unprecedented access to these game-changers as they meet the physical demands and pressures of being some of the world's top athletes, while showcasing their courage, unflinching spirit and resiliency in an effort to create long-lasting social change. Told by the players themselves, including Megan Rapinoe, Jessica McDonald, Becky Sauerbrunn, Kelley O'Hara, Sam Mewis and others, this emotional and cinematic film uncovers what it takes to be at the center of the biggest fight for women's rights since Title IX.

    • Trivia
      This film focuses on the lawsuit filed by the US Women's National Team against U.S. Soccer for alleged wage discrimination. A ruling was made on May 1st, 2020, when the judge sided with the U.S. Soccer Federation, stating the women's team had been paid more - both in totality and on a per-game basis - than the men's team, and that no discrimination occurred.

    Who is writing these reviews?
    Actually, what I should ask is are these really reviews of a documentary film? I suggest that they are not. The comments I've seen so far, both positive and negative, appear more "political" in nature. I watched this film as one who appreciates documentaries. It isn't the best but it certainly isn't without merit, without interest, without emotion. It isn't the worst documentary film as some IMDb "reviewers" might have you believe. It deserves a look from anyone interested in sports, women's issues, activism and mostly, decent film making. Watch and make your own decision.
