Halifax IMPACT SCREENING

Wednesday November 5

Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 (1055 Marginal Rd, Halifax, NS B3H 4P7)

From director Michèle Hozer, THE PITCH takes audiences inside the fight to launch Canada’s first women’s professional soccer league. The doc follows Olympic medalist  Diana Matheson as she hangs up her cleats and dives into her toughest challenge yet: shaking up a system that has sidelined women for decades and building a league from the ground up. With icons like Christine Sinclair by her side, THE PITCH is a front-row seat to history in the making. 

Following the screening, stay for a live panel conversation moderated by journalist Shireen Ahmed and featuring director Michèle Hozer and soccer legend Diana Matheson as they share untold stories and their bold vision for the future of the game.

THE PITCH National Screening Tour is presented by Canadian Tire Corporation. Other partners include Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities (Community Partner); Canadian Women & Sport (Impact Partner); Toyota Canada (Mobility Partner); and Coca-Cola (Celebration Partner). 

THE PITCH is presented by TVO and produced in association with The Canada Media Fund, Ontario Creates, Rogers Documentary Fund and the Government of Canada.
