At the new dawn of a nation once cut off from the world, a dynamic group of women from fractured sides of the revolution come together with a common hunger to empower the women of Libya through sport. Their dream: to form the first national Libyan women's football team.
In post-revolution Libya, a group of women are brought together by one dream: to play football for their nation. But as the country descends into civil war and the utopian hopes of the “Arab Spring” begin to fade, can they realise their dream? And is there even a country left to play for? Freedom Fields is a film about hope and sacrifice in a land where dreams seem a luxury. Through the eyes of these accidental activists we see the reality of a country in transition, where the personal stories of love, struggle and aspirations collide with History.
