The Fab Four of Football, as they are affectionally called, famously private women came together
for the first time to discuss the history of the game from their unique
perspective. What ties them together is not just their colorful memories and
the competitive friendship they have shared, but their incredible love of the
game. The illuminating film, which includes intimate first-hand interviews,
anecdotes from players, coaches and family members, and rarely seen archival
footage, takes viewers inside the personal and professional lives of these
extraordinary women who have had front row seats as pro football has grown from
humble roots into a celebrated American institution and the country’s most
popular sport.
