Offside foreign film - Persian/Farsi

Offside is a fascinating film about a handful of women who are determined to view a world cup soccer game in Tehran. We learn the stories of the women who are caught and detained by soldiers while trying to sneak in to see the game. The women are collected in a roped off area on the second floor of the landing outside the stadium proper. People who are walking to their seats occasionally stop to speak with the soldiers or the women. The women do everything in their power to try to see the game, follow a play by play account, or attempt subterfuge to escape the confines of their pen. Just before the game is over, they are escorted and loaded on to a bus on their way to confinement in the city jail. The story is fascinating because we, as humans, are and aren't alike. Whether we like it or not, all of us are more and more affected and changed by our interactions with others in this world. We reflect the Spirit of our time which has become increasingly global.
