A Great Documentary

If you like watching sports movies or inspirational stories, be sure to look for a new documentary currently being broad casted on HBO called, "Kick Like a Girl." This award wining documentary by Jenny Mackenzie follows an undefeated third-grade girls' soccer team that enters and competes in a boys' league. It is a great view into the world of sports and the impact of gender, while meeting some very charming and funny young athletes.
