Give Me The Ball!

Billie Jean King is a global icon whose impact on tennis and equality continues to resonate around the world. In Give Me the Ball!, we come to understand the sacrifices King was forced to make behind the scenes, even as she fought high-profile battles for the professionalization of her sport and equal treatment for women. From struggling to escape an unhappy marriage and hiding her sexual orientation to facing an eating disorder and staring down misogyny at every turn, her march to triumph was a long and often lonely one.

Through a trove of rarely seen archival material and powerfully honest interviews with King, this film shines an unforgettable light on a figure who is widely admired but, until now, never properly understood.
