The Herricanes Movie

The Herricanes Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: The Houston Herricanes were a part of the first women's full tackle football league in the 1970s.

Their unknown story is one of commitment, courage, and strength.

Despite adversity and hardship, they fielded a team purely for the love of the game.

What they started is a movement that is still in motion today.

The Herricanes received minimal support from the public during the 4 years they played.

They were teased and joked at both in their personal lives and in the stadiums in which they played.

But every bit of the support they lacked from the community, they found in each other.

These groundbreaking ladies from all different walks of life came to the field with little to no experience but together they made history, even if it hasn't been told yet.

Today women's football still faces many of the same struggles endured by the Herricanes 40 years ago.

Thanks to Title IX, the number of girls and women participating in sports has grown exponentially since 1972.

However, as the number one sport in America, football is still only visibly played by men and remains the final frontier for women in sports.
