In the early 1990s, Turkish-German filmmaker Aysun Bademsoy first began chronicling the lives of the members of Berlin-Kreuzberg’s BSC Agrispor, the only Turkish women’s soccer club in Europe. Her observations became GIRLS ON THE BALL (1995), a look into how these 16- to 18-year-old players balanced tradition, prejudice, and self-determination with the usual tumults of adolescence.
In GAME CHANGERS, the members of BSC Agrispor now have daughters of their own, who were born and raised in Germany and grapple with similar questions of belonging. The players reminisce about their time on the team, the role of soccer in providing them with a sense of community, and how much, if anything, has really changed since then.
GAME CHANGERS screens free at Goethe-Institut New York on March 27, 2026, for #GermanMovieNights!
