David Ball

A kaleidoscope of color and culture clash humorously as an Indian family in London tries to raise their soccer-playing daughter in a traditional way. Unlike tarty elder sister Pinky, who is preparing for an Indian wedding and a lifetime of cooking the perfect chapatti, Jess' dream is to play soccer professionally like her hero David Beckham. Wholeheartedly against Jess' unorthodox ambition, her parents eventually reveal that their reservations have more to do with protecting her than with holding her back. When Jess is forced to make a choice between tradition and her beloved sport, her family must decide whether to let her chase her dream...and a soccer ball. A smash-hit in the U.K. and worldwide and the #1 theatrical box-office soccer movie of all time, Bend It Like Beckham is the third feature from award-winning writer/director Gurinder Chadha (Bhaji on the Beach, What's Cooking).
