Directed by Rebecca Huntt, known for "Beba," "Rapinoe" delves deeply into the life and impact of the iconic athlete. While Megan Rapinoe's illustrious soccer career includes leading the US Women's team to two World Cup titles, an Olympics Gold, and the coveted Ballon d’Or, the documentary chooses a different focus. Instead, it grapples with Rapinoe's profound progressive politics, highlighting pivotal moments such as her solidarity with Colin Kaepernick through kneeling, and her personal coming out story.

Rapinoe herself was in attendance at the TIFF premiere, adding significant buzz to the film's debut. The deal with HBO Documentary Films ensures a wide reach for this intimate portrayal of a sports and cultural icon, bringing her story to a broad audience across television and streaming platforms in North America. This acquisition marks a significant moment for one of the fall festival season's most talked-about documentaries.
