Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
When we told someone we were gonna see Bend It Like Beckham at Phoenix Art Museum, the response was, “Why not just watch it at home with Netflix?” Good point, well-taken, but as with most movie experiences at PAM, it’s the value-adds we dig: free, big screen, with a crowd, lecture (in this case) following. Not to mention that we’re genuinely charmed by Gurinder Chadha’s flick about ethnic and familial traditions disguised as a lark about English girls’ soccer. We’re guessing we’ll like it even better this time around, since our only previous experience with the film was on the small screen (with Netflix).
