This documentary is the story of Zanzibar’s women’s soccer team, the New Generation Queens. The movie examines the history and culture around women’s soccer in Zanzibar.

DIRECTOR BIO:

Megan Shutzer is a documentary filmmaker whose day job is to provide strategy for international development projects and whose night/weekend/side-hustle and creative passion is making this movie. When work brought Megan to Zanzibar in early 2011, she sought out a women’s soccer team, began playing with the New Generation Queens and immediately started plotting to make this documentary. Not only were the players on the team compelling, and their stories even more so, but Megan quickly discovered that her new footballer friends were eager to join her in making a film.
