DETAILS: DARE TO DREAM explores the unrivaled phenomenon largely created
by five individuals who played together for 17 years on the U.S.
National Team: Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, Brandi Chastain, Kristine
Lilly and Joy Fawcett. Their enduring perseverance and success
reshaped the American sports landscape, empowering millions of
young girls to dream and achieve their goals, as well as
establishing themselves as powerful marketing icons. The story
starts quietly in the 1980s, when a group of young women battle
individually to establish themselves as high school and U.S.
National Team soccer players. Before ending in 2004, it entails a
remarkable string of events and accomplishments, including two
gold medal triumphs at the Olympic Games and two World Cup
titles, while redefining the opportunities for young women in
team sports in this country. DARE TO DREAM: THE STORY OF THE
U.S. WOMEN'S SOCCER TEAM will debut on HBO on SUNDAY, DEC. 11
(8:00-9:30 PM ET/PT).
