OKUTEEBA

OKUTEEBA is about a group of courageous Ugandan girls who are the first to be admitted to an athletic boarding school in their region. They defy gender norms, leave their families, and are pursuing their dreams of becoming professional football players, and helping their community. Through sacrifice, conviction, and the power of global athletic opportunities, they show the world that girls can do anything.
