i saw the world premiere of this film in the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, and got to interview and talk to Lindsay, who played the main character of Bobbie Dean. She was great, the whole film was really good. It was about a talented basketball player in the 50s, who was not allowed to play on any official teams because she was a girl. Bobbie first masks her gender to be allowed to play, then is convinced by one coach who believes in her, to fight to be allowed to play as a girl. Her school even takes legal action to prevent her from playing. This film is inspiring, and deserves to be picked up and distributed!
