Freedom Fields follows three women and their football team over five years in post-revolution Libya.

As the country descends into war, “Determination, Will, Strength” is their motto. Community is key in this intimate story of hope, struggle, joy, and sisterhood.

"Freedom Fields stands with the millions of women who sought to define their roles in Libyan society in the aftermath of the Arab Spring. Naziha Arebi’s debut documentary is a rousing portrait of an eclectic band of women who fought for the right to represent their country on the international stage." - MUBI

"Beautifully shot, subtly told, by turns moving, infuriating and exhilarating, this is a celebration of an incredible group of women that you simply must meet for everything they represent" - Little White Lies

  • ★★★★ "Visually arresting, superbly made, stirring" - The Guardian
  • ★★★★ "A force of art, filled with passion, courage and rightful indignation"- Cine Vue
  • ★★★★ ""An impressive debut from British-Libyan filmmaker Naziha Arebi" - Total Film
