The Invincibles

In 2023, injured Academy footballer Maya follows England’s progress through the Women’s World Cup. The roar of the Lionesses echoes a war cry from 1917. In her Essex hometown, factory workers Sterling Ladies play for two whirlwind seasons and never lose a match. Known as the Dagenham Invincibles, they will lead the extraordinary movement of female footballers through World War One. As Maya fears she’ll never play again, the Invincibles face their triumph fading into obscurity when the war ends.
