“Throw Like a Girl,” directed by Cami Kidder, delves into the challenges women encounter in baseball. Featuring figures like Justine Siegal, the first female coach of a men’s baseball team, and prominent players from Team U.S.A.’s Women’s National Baseball Team, the film interrogates the barriers deterring American girls from the game.
Journeying across six countries, Kidder employs baseball as a lens to spotlight societal gender biases. By challenging the concept “baseball is for boys, softball for girls,” this documentary aims to kindle an expansive conversation on gender equality and reshape modern views on feminism.
