Following the captain, the coach, and the general manager of the Czech Women’s National Team over the course of a pivotal year leading up to the World Championship, the film dives deep into the sacrifices and determination required to compete at the top level — in a sport that still doesn’t treat everyone equally. From locker rooms to personal moments, “Respect Her Game” reveals what it truly means to play the same game under different rules — and why it’s time the world took notice.
