‘“'Equal Playing Field' shows female athletes pushing their body, mind and spirit to inspire a revolution of consciousness for female equality through sport and beyond. The challenges they faced playing on top of Kilimanjaro all the way down to the Dead Sea will help create miracles for female athletes all over the world for generations to come. It gave me chills. This film is special. " ‘
