Offside


The eve of the qualifying football game between Iran and Bahrain for World Cup 2006 sees all of Tehran trying to wedge their way into the stadium. Except the women of course thanks to a law that prohibits from entering the stadium. But a group of football crazy girls decide to buck the law and go where their hearts are. Jafar Panahi's film that is part political statement / satire and part hilarious comedy is a must of for all football fans and people who care for woman rights the world around.
