About this shoot

The opening night of The Corinthians drew an audience hungry for a story long overdue its moment. The documentary follows working class Manchester women who defied a 50 year FA ban, beat Germany to a European Cup and won an unofficial World Cup, yet were forgotten for decades. Director Helen Tither and host Mark Chapman then led a Q&A that kept the conversation going long after the credits rolled.
