TOMBOY(2017)

Elevating the conversation about gender in sports

Tomboy is a documentary that examines the barriers facing young female athletes in competitive sports. The film traces how stereotypes, language barriers, and cultural gaps persist at every level, from recreational play to elite professional competition. Despite decades of progress since Title IX, gender inequity remains deeply embedded in athletics—from inadequate media coverage to unequal pay. Tomboy follows the journeys of female athletes navigating a system that often discourages their ambitions, revealing the gap between the progress promised and the reality these women face. The film makes a compelling case that true equality in sports remains an unfinished goal.
