Próceres

About This Movie

So, 'Próceres' is this fascinating documentary that dives into the largely overlooked story of an Argentine women's soccer team from 1971. They headed to the World Cup in Mexico with very little, really. The way it captures their struggles and triumphs, it’s like a raw glimpse into a past that many have forgotten. The pacing feels almost like a slow build, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of both the excitement and the hardships they faced. It’s not just about sports; it's woven with themes of resilience and the fight for recognition. The archival footage is pretty striking, and the genuine performances from the athletes shine through. There's something quite powerful about seeing their journey laid bare, especially in a time when women's sports were so sidelined.
