While we’re used to seeing the Williams sisters living it up all over the world – including watching Chelsea Women FC (above) – it wasn’t always that way and ‘King Richard’ tells us the sisters’ story. From their childhood in Compton, California under the tennis tutelage of their father Richard Williams to Florida, this is a fantastic BTS insight into the lives of two of the greats.
No Woman No Try
OK, a change of pace and this isn’t a film but a documentary. If you love rugby or love women’s sports, this is a must watch as it shows the highs and lows of women’s rugby. It’s impossible not to be touched by Shaunagh Brown’s emotional plea at the end.
Nyad
A story of determination beyond belief, ‘Nyad’ is the story of Diana Nyad and her swim through swim shark-infested waters from Cuba to Florida. It was her fifth attempt to swim the 110-mile route, with a dedicated support team who regularly question her ‘madness.’ It’ll inspire you to keep going with whatever you haven’t achieved yet.
The Swimmers
A swimming movie with similar grit and perseverance, ‘The Swimmers’ follows the journey of two Syrian refugee sisters aiming for the Olympic Games. This is harrowing at times and emotional, but a powerful story to remind us that behind the headlines, there are real people with dreams and ambitions.
