​When the soccer grannies (ages 55-84) come together for   their weekly doses of physical and emotional therapy with   their teammates these renegades break taboos and crush   stereotypes about older women. They lace up their soccer   cleats and kick their way through life's challenges, prejudice,   and abuse and inspire everyone along the way with their  spirited resiliency.

They create space to speak their own truth in the   struggle towards a democratic Egypt.
