Copa 71

Copa 71 looks back at a football tournament held in Mexico City in August 1971, when national teams from countries including England, Argentina, Mexico, France, Denmark and Italy played in front of crowds reported at more than 100,000 at the Estadio Azteca. The event drew large audiences and television coverage, yet it was rejected by FIFA and the national football associations, and its place in the sport's history was largely erased. The documentary gathers former players and archival footage to tell the story of that competition and the women who took part.

The film is directed by James Erskine and Rachel Ramsay, who wrote it with Victoria Gregory; Gregory produced alongside Jannat Gargi and Anna Godas. It is a British and American production from Westbrook Studios, New Black Films, Dogwoof and Greenwich Entertainment, running 91 minutes in the Documentary and History genres. Within Erskine's filmography it follows EMR, released two decades earlier.

The cast includes former and current players such as Brandi Chastain, Nicole Mangas, Silvia Zaragoza, Alex Morgan, Carol Wilson and Elena Schiavo, appearing as themselves. On IMDb it holds 7.5/10 from 725 votes, and on TMDB 7.6/10 from 12 votes, suggesting a small but positive response.
