Ginger Gentile Filmmaker from New York living in Buenos Aires

We´re waiting to film a few weeks more so we will have more light, because the girls start to practice at 6pm. But here you can see them playing in the field that is surrounded by apartment buildings that were built by the residents themselves.

This Sunday the Buenos Aires Herald, the oldest English language newspaper in BsAs, wrote a story about the soccer team in Villa 31 Retiro that we are making a documentary about, and a photo of ours was used in the spead and Gabriel was quoted. I´m so happy that more people are going to learn about the girls!

One of the most pervasive stereotypes about Argentina is that it is a very "machista" or sexist culture. I think a more appropriate adjective would be "sexualized" culture. There is no puritan guilt attatched to thinking about sex, talking about sex, or even having sex! Women are expected to dress sexy and men are expected to make comments on said women´s bodies. But, does this put women at a disadvantage in the business world?
I don´t think so.
