Iowa Girls

"Iowa Girls" is about the unique game of six-on-six basketball, played by generations of women in Iowa decades before Title IX. Six-on-six was the number one spectator sport in the state for nearly a century. It was so popular that the girls regularly played before sellout crowds, and attendance at their games often exceeded that of the boys' games.


"Iowa Girls" was shot in small rural towns across Iowa and Kansas from August to October 2008.
