In this episode, Miriam (@Miriam Walker-Khan) talks to Markus Fjortoft (@MarkusFjortoft) and Ciaran McKenna (@CiaranMcKenna8) about the legacy of the film “Bend it Like Beckham”, and what inspired her to make a short documentary about the film 20 years on from its release date. We discussed that despite the skepticism at the time about hiring an Indian female as the lead character & targeting the British Asian community as an audience; the film became the highest grossing football film ever, and not only resonated with the British Asian community, but became highly popular among all demographics of people. Furthermore, we spoke about both the progress made within football for British Asian females, and what more can still be done, the growth of England’s Women’s Super League, as well as about Miriam’s own journey through sports journalism and what the future holds for her.
