The ‘Darling of Denmark’ fights for the right for all women to play football.
Nadia Nadim is an internationally renowned soccer player who came to Denmark as a refugee from war-torn Afghanistan and won the nation's heart, becoming Dane of the Year. Having moved to the U.S. to play for Racing Louisville FC, her sights were set on the 2022 Euro World Cup, when injury struck.
When she travels to Qatar for an operation, she visits a refugee camp and makes comments that upset the Danish press. The controversy intensifies after she agrees to become an official FIFA ambassador alongside the likes of David Beckham. This is a story ultimately about the power of football to overcome prejudice and celebrate unity.
