Back of the Net

Maya, a passionate young footballer, is given an opportunity that could offer her the future she’s always dreamed of. But now, the one person who inspired her pursuit of this dream, her grandmother, is the only thing holding her back. A heartfelt, bitingly human story of care, female aspiration and the evolution of women’s football in a male-dominated sport. Back of the Net is a multi-award-winning, BIFA-accredited short film. It has been selected for 20+ film festivals globally and picked up 7 awards.
