Bend It Like Beckham

There’s football fever in the air at Tūhura Otago Museum! If you’re hanging out for the next match join us for this family-friendly screening of comedy classic Bend it Like Beckham at the Museum.

Jess Bhamra, the daughter of a strict Indian couple in London, is not permitted to play organized soccer, even though she is 18. When Jess is playing for fun one day, her impressive skills are seen by Jules Paxton, who then convinces Jess to play for her semi-pro team. Jess uses elaborate excuses to hide her matches from her family while also dealing with her romantic feelings for her coach, Joe.

Pull up a beanbag in our Beautiful Science Gallery and enjoy an afternoon screening of this light-hearted, feel-good film at Tūhura Otago Museum.
