This documentary follows a group of Zanzibari women and girls as they defy gender expectations by competing in a women's soccer tournament.

On the small island of Zanzibar, off the coast of Tanzania, only men are allowed to play soccer. But the New Generation Queens, a Zanzibari all-women's soccer team, is looking to change that.

In Zanzibar's conservative Muslim society, it isn't easy to be a female athlete. Members of the New Generation Queens – or NGQ – have to overcome sexism, discrimination, and poverty just to play the game.

In this documentary, Megan Shutzer, a documentarian and journalism professor at the University of California, Berkeley, follows the NGQ on their quest to participate in a women's soccer tournament on the Tanzanian mainland.
