'Zom 100' Critiques Predatory Capitalism
Zombie apocalypses have been metaphors for late-stage predatory capitalism, but never a system disrupter that brings about freedom.
The Pitch
When Olympic soccer star Diana Matheson retires, she sets out alongside other players to build something that has never existed: a professional women’s soccer league in Canada. Their journey becomes a modern David and Goliath story as they take on institutional power, doubt, and inertia. Directed by award-winning documentary filmmaker Michèle Hozer (Shake Hands with the Devil, Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn Gould, Sugar Coated), the film was shot extensively across the country, including Olympic medalist Erin McLeod's return home to play for the Halifax Tides. The Pitch offers rare access to this fight to change the game: a universal story of resilience and rewriting the rules.

Striving for validation. Let’s be frank….we ALL want to be successful. Whatever we put our efforts into, ideally it is to make it culminate in the best possible results across the board, especially when it comes to what career path we are pursuing.

However, what occurs when those whom we initially put our trust in suddenly become a burden instead of a boon? Do we falter under the weight of rejection? Or STAND UP for WHO WE ARE?
