Training barefoot and in traditional dress, the Diablillas prepare for their biggest challenge yet: a softball game against their rivals, the Amazonas, in front of thousands of fans. In Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, groups of indigenous women are defying societal norms to establish female softball teams. Mayan Softball Revolution celebrates the courage to challenge the status quo, finding strength in tradition and self-belief through sport.
