Sapir is a film about breaking barriers as the first transgender referee in professional soccer, Sapir Berman quickly ascended to officiate in Israel’s Premier League, excelling for years before bravely coming out as a woman. Amid scrutiny from fans, colleagues, and the media, she balances the physical, emotional, and psychological demands of refereeing top-tier football with the taxing process of gender reassignment surgery and hormone therapy. Offering intimate access to her life on and off the pitch, this poignant glimpse celebrates Sapir’s resilience, defiance of conventions, and role as a beacon of equity and inclusion in global sports.
Preceded by the short film, Miriam. In 1985 Los Angeles, 12-year-old Miriam becomes the first bat mitzvah in her Orthodox community, igniting deep controversy. Torn between tradition and her secret love of skateboarding, she discovers that true rebellion isn’t breaking away—but reshaping tradition on her own terms.
