What is The Herricanes about?
“The Houston Herricanes were a part of the first women’s full tackle football league in the 1970s,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “Their unknown story is one of commitment, courage, and strength. Despite adversity and hardship, they fielded a team purely for the love of the game. What they started is a movement that is still in motion today.”
The Herricanes will be available online on the Slamdance Channel as part of the Slamdance Film Festival from January 22-28, 2024. A wider release is unknown as of yet.
