CFF: Give Me the Ball!

Sports legend. Feminist icon. Trailblazer. Billie Jean King earned it.

From her start in the 1960s, to the creation of women’s tennis tournaments, to “The Battle of the Sexes,” she fought not only to be a champion, but a formidable warrior for all women in sports — no matter the personal cost.

This witty, appreciative documentary traces King's legacy using archival footage and interviews with colleagues and those close to her, and the indomitable woman herself.

Without a doubt, one of the best sports documentaries this decade. Viva Billie Jean King!
