WEEK 13: MAKING DECISIONS

-
Hi! This week we will talk about a film that we've recently seen. The film that we choose is Bend It Like Beckham. 

Jess Bharme is a fairly typical teen with dreams of becoming a world-class soccer player. However, she also comes from a very traditional Indian family thay believes a girls should not play around with boys, show her legs in public, or aspire to much beyond marrying a good Indian boy and raising a family. Unlike her traditional older sister, Pinky, who is preparing a lavish Indian wedding and a lifetime of cooking the perfect chapati. Wholeheartedly against Jess' unorthodox ambition, her parents eventually reveal that their reservations have more to do with protecting her, than with holding her back. When Jess is foced to make a choice between tradition and her beloved soport, her family must decide whether to let her chase her dream, be an a soccer player or follow a more orthodoz path.
