Three-point contest
When faced with many challenges headed into a tournament in Monterrey, this team of Mayan women’s softball players, Las Amazonas de Yaxunah, upset the tournament organizer’s team in a huge victory. After being belittled, thought down upon and mistreated by the tournament, Las Amazonas managed to set the record straight through the game.
“Las Amazonas de Yaxunah” is a compelling documentary that shines a light on the remarkable spirit and determination of an extraordinary Mayan women’s softball team from the Yucatán region of Mexico. The film follows the inspiring journey of this team of 26 passionate players, aged 13 to 62, as they shattered gender stereotypes and overcame immense challenges to pursue their passion for softball.
“Las Amazonas de Yaxunah” is directed by filmmaker Alfonso Algara and produced by ESPN Deportes as part of the network’s initiative to celebrate its 20th anniversary and will premiere on September 19th at 11 PM on ESPN2.
