These women crush skulls on ice while fighting for crumbs — and it's electrifying.
“Respect Her Game” is a personal documentary about strength, resilience, and the unseen battles of women’s hockey. Following the captain, the coach, and the general manager of the Czech Women’s National Team over the course of a pivotal year leading up to the World Championship, the film dives deep into the sacrifices and determination required to compete at the top level — in a sport that still doesn’t treat everyone equally. From locker rooms to personal moments, “Respect Her Game” reveals what it truly means to play the same game under different rules — and why it’s time the world took notice.
