She Dreams Cricket

Amar is a young south-asian immigrant struggling to thrive in Canada. Despite being a professional cricket player, Amar works full-time as a truck driver to make ends meet. Stubborn and strong-willed, she is determined to beat the US and take her team to the World Cup qualifiers. But can Amar overcome the uphill battle and social forces holding her and her team back? SHE DREAMS CRICKET provides a rare window into the world of women’s sport, through the lens of a top-flight athlete struggling to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

Rarely do we witness an immigrant woman so fiercely pursue her own dreams. 

But Amarpal Kaur came to Canada with one goal: to become an international cricket star. This road leads to the 2028 Summer Olympic Games, where cricket will be played for the first time. However, this 27-year-old and her team find themselves up against a sports system rife with sexism and scandal. In this never-before-told story, we go behind the scenes with the captain of Canada’s national cricket team as she takes on the fight of a lifetime, not just on the pitch but off it.
