As a film school graduate, I would think there’d be a great opportunity to try to get in touch with a film professor. See if you can scrape together a few email addresses from any of the local universities and try to get in touch. I would hope that they would be willing to help you out, or at least give you some more information, or get you in touch with someone who can get it for you.
Filmies love this kind of stuff!

Great of you to point out this film – I pulled up a post from earlier this year -http://prettytough.com/football-under-cover/ – in which we mention another similarly themed film called “Offside” that you may be interested in.

Hi John! Glad you stopped by. Thanks for the tip, and the official link. I’ll try and figure out where (and when) in the DC area there is a film festival. I’ll also encourage some of my blogger friends across the country to do the same.

Thanks very much for the link. I, too, would love to see this picture. One idea would be to advocate for a screening at a film festival in your area. The documentary has shown in Washington, DC, New York, LA and at other festivals in North America. It becomes available on DVD in Europe on November 21, so this is a possibility if you have a multi-region DVD player or DVD player on your computer.
