This is the story of an Afghan footballer who dreamed of a career in sport.

When the Taliban regained control of the country in 2021, her world turned upside down. She was evacuated from Kabul on a flight funded by none other than Kim Kardashian – in a rescue operation the papers coined a ‘modern day Schindler’s List’.

We follow her as she embarks on a new chapter as the community captain of her local football club, moving between her sporting life in Yorkshire and the life in Afghanistan that she was forced to leave behind.

An inspirational film about one woman’s fight for freedom, and the right to play football.

Director Hannah Congdon said: "Sabriah’s story is a testament to the power of sporting communities. Football has transformed her life - as she says in the film, without it she wouldn’t be the person she is today.

"Sabriah’s story shows just how much there is to lose when women are denied the freedom to be themselves and to do the thing they love, as many of her friends back home in Afghanistan continue to be today."

No Rucks Given! (Directed by Somina Fombo)

This nostalgic yet honest documentary charts the meteoric rise of top-flight women’s rugby in England from 1984 to present day.

From muddy grassroots pitches to packed stadiums and prime-time TV, the sport has shattered expectations, but at what cost to the trailblazers who fought for its place?

Featuring former player of the year at the Guinness National Rugby Awards Laura Kapo and Premiership Women's Rugby players, Dr Simi Pam, Ellie Kildunne, Reneeqa Bonner and Tatyana Heard, plus rare archive footage, this film uncovers the untold struggles, relentless passion, and game-changing moments that built the women’s club level game.

A tribute to the pioneers who laid the foundations and the new generation carrying the game forward.

Director Somina Fombo said: "With a home World Cup on the horizon, the pinnacle of every sport, there has never been a better time to talk about the history and pioneers of women’s rugby!"

SET PACE (Directed by Daisy Ifama)

SET PACE tells the story of the legendary Carol Glenn, Britain's first black female motorsports official, as she sets out on a new venture to launch her own Formula Ford single-seater race team, breaking boundaries as the first black woman in the UK to do so.

A true hidden gem, 67-year-old Carol has spent almost 40 years volunteering on the track and self-funding her passion for travelling to race circuits across the world, from Silverstone to Le Mans to Texas.

Now, Carol has turned her hand to a new project – turbocharging the industry with her own race team, the first of its kind in the UK.

SET PACE is a celebration of motorsports, of the black British community, the fight to improve gender, racial and economic difference on the track and what one woman’s lifetime of dedication can do to change the world.

Director Daisy Ifama said: "I was really inspired by Carol's tenacity and perseverance over the last 37 years to fight for more space for all in the sport that she loves.

British motorsports is having a real global moment right now, and I hope our film will be a part of this cultural focus and an example of the sport's future.

I want people to see a piece of themselves in Carol's story and feel galvanised to keep up the fight, not be swayed by obstacles and be the change they wish to see in their world.

As Carol says in the film, 'The only way I can see change is if I make it happen.'"
