Ottawa IMPACT SCREENING

Thursday October 30

Ottawa Art Gallery (50 Mackenzie King Bridge)

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 featuring director Michèle Hozer and soccer legends Diana Matheson and Christine Sinclair 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.
