Lioness

Lioness (Leeuwin, 2023) is a Dutch family sports film directed by Raymond Grimbergen — watch it online on iFILM, with Alyssa van Ommeren in the lead role.

Teenager Rosie moves from Suriname to the Netherlands with her family and finds fitting in harder than expected — her new classmates keep their distance. A kickabout in the schoolyard changes everything: her touch earns respect faster than any introduction could. She joins the girls' football team, rises to star quickly, and sets her sights on the national squad. The road there runs through real competition, prejudice, and choices that have nothing to do with the ball. An 85-minute story of stubbornness and friendship. Watch Lioness (2023) online on iFILM.
