Where next in the evolution of women’s football? A Different League is a feature length documentary on the success, development and future of the women’s game in England. And it’s well worth a watch.

Produced by Plus44 Films, A Different League joins women’s football after the phenomenal success of the London 2012 Olympics. The filmmakers had exclusive access to some of the biggest names in women’s football, and chose to focus on Arsenal Ladies and Charlton Athletic Women - opening up the world of this sport like never before.

‘If I could sum up what the Olympics did for women’s football in one word… it would be empowerment.’ Said Andy Brassell, European football expert, BBC, ESPN, Talksport.

Over a six-month production period, ADL follows Arsenal Ladies, undoubtedly the most successful England women’s side in history, as new manager Shelley Kerr prepares to defend their Women’s Super League title, and win the UEFA Women’s Champions League in their home city of London. Featuring fantastic interviews with international stars including Stephanie Houghton, Jordan Nobbs and Rachel Yankee, to give an unparalleled insight into what it really takes to be a female football star.

ADL also follows Charlton Athletic Women, managed by Bill Long and captained by former England Under-23 international Kim Dixson, as they claim the London FA Women’s Cup.

The film is fast-paced, emotive and hugely informative - it manages to capture the emotion and drive of female sport and offers fresh perspective. It’s a must-see for anyone who loves women’s football, or wants to learn more about the game.
