Equal
Playing Field

Our 2022 award-winning feature documentary Equal Playing Field– a triumphant tale of resilience and women in sport – is a testament to reaching profound depths, only to achieve all new heights. It’s a story about pushing the absolute limits.

Filmed over five years across three continents, with women from over 60 countries, Equal Playing Field exudes true grit and determination on and off the screen.

Director/producer Amirose Eisenbach nurtured relationships with the female players, crew, and members of the media landscape to ensure that this story came to light in the most authentic way possible.

Equal Playing Field is an urgent work of love and affirmation, and one that foregrounds the work Radiant J. will continue to do in coming years on other timely and compelling human stories.

STATUS: PRE-PRODUCTION

Synopsis:

In 1996, after a race riot on the yard of New Folsom State Prison ended in a fatality, a men’s support group was formed.

Within the steel walls of the prison, men of different races, beliefs and walks of life came together. They shared stories of abuse they endured, crimes they committed and trauma that haunted them.

Through the bravery and vulnerability of these men and the safe space they created, the long road of healing began. They learned that prison begins inside the mind and that freedom is possible for those brave enough to take it.

From The Director:

“Film and travel have been the greatest teachers of my life. Having visited 44 countries and been a cinephile of world cinema, I’ve learned about compassion, empathy, gratitude, how other cultures suffer and thrive.

My award-winning directorial debut Equal Playing Field - currently streaming on Apple TV and Amazon - follows 30 female soccer players from 30 different countries who summit Mt. Kilimanjaro and descend to the Dead Sea in Jordan to play the highest and lowest elevation games on record. It took immense resilience and passion to get this important story out in the world. I’m beyond grateful to the inspiring women who trusted me with their powerful stories.

Inside Circle is the perfect sophomore follow up to that adventure. In my effort to illuminate the challenges women face on their quest for equality, we must also shine a lens on the patriarchal pressures that have weighed down upon men since the formation of our society. We must turn inward, listen, be vulnerable and accountable in order to confront the shadows that hold us back from true equity and inclusion.

I am very aware and deeply grateful for my privilege and want to use that privilege to lift up humanity through storytelling. My hope with Inside Circle is that it educates and inspires us to open our eyes further to the injustices that permeate our culture, and to shine a light on some of the brave warriors fighting to change it.”

  • “A timely documentary that explores the highs and lows experienced in the fight for gender equality. The plight of these athletes to set world records in order to disprove the biases against women playing soccer is simply inspiring - showing the power and impact we can have when we use our collective voices.”

  • “Equal Playing Field shows female athletes pushing their body, mind and spirit to inspire a revolution of consciousness for female equality through sport and beyond. The challenges they faced playing on top of Kilimanjaro all the way down to the Dead Sea will help create miracles for female athletes all over the world for generations to come. It gave me chills. This film is special.”

  • “No one could possibly invent this story about a diverse group of women who push themselves to the limit — and beyond. Equal Playing Field shows us why and how they did it, and allows us to share their pride of accomplishment. Well done!” 

    Leonard Maltin
    American film critic and film historian

  • “This film takes us on a beautiful journey of selfreflection, passion, triumph and defeat as female soccer players from all over the world come together to climb Kilimanjaro and descend to the Dead Sea. With the mountain as a metaphor for our ascent toward self-actualization through sport, we can see so clearly the barriers blocking our path - discrimination, abuse, cultural non-acceptance, lack of resources. These brave women show us that we are not alone in our suffering. That we are resilient in our ability to overcome. And that together we can blast these obstacles right off the side of the mountain and build a record-breaking soccer pitch on top of the rubble.”
