Director's Statement

When I first heard about women playing ice hockey in India I was astonished. It sounded like the film Cool Runnings. Once we managed to gather funds and go to Ladakh to film, we quickly realised that it was far from being a joke. The region is breathtaking and the women’s team take the sport very seriously. They have had to overcome so many challenges; climate change, lack of fundings, people not taking them seriously, to name a few! They are the toughest and loveliest women I have ever met, they never give up and they really are an example to women worldwide.
