Where to watch Kick-Off (2025)

Story

In the village of Kök-Tash, Kyrgyzstan, an activist works to organise a women's football tournament in a community where traditional customs restrict women's roles to household work. Through this sporting initiative, the documentary explores how football becomes a tool for challenging deeply rooted social expectations and creating space for women to step beyond the boundaries imposed on them by their conservative society.
