Forget pom-poms and girls on the sidelines, the film shatters all pre-conceptions of cheerleading!
From award-winning director Tanya Doyle, this is a surprising and uplifting coming-of-age film exploring gender, strength and why things that are considered female are not taken seriously. On the western edge of Europe, a group of young misfits have found a place where they belong. These are the athletes of Ireland’s National Cheerleading team. But with no respect for the sport in Ireland and struggling to compete with the best teams in the World, these athletes don’t believe they can ever win.
The film follows the underdog athletes’ journey to the World Championships and reveal what it’s like to grow up in the world today. Battling self-doubt while finding their place in the world, this is a story of athletes who don’t just want to fit in. They want to stand out.
"You have to learn how to laugh,
You have to learn how to sing and when things go wrong you have to change your song.
You have to chuckle all the minutes of the passing day. Reach for the stars and the milky way."
— Shari Lewis
