Bats, Balls and Bradford Girls (2019)
This BBC Three film follows the first all Asian girls’ cricket team over the summer holidays as they train for their last ever tournament together. The team started at school four years ago when their only experience of cricket was their dads and brothers watching it on the TV. In spite of this, they took to it like naturals and began winning almost all of the tournaments they entered. Last year they lost out on becoming National champions at Lords by only one run.

Sorry, this movie sucks
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
