A documentary celebrating Billie Jean King's historic 1973 tennis match against Bobby Riggs as a pivotal moment for women's rights and gender equality.
Tennis star and women’s rights activist Billie Jean King won a total of 12 Grand Slam titles, but the biggest match of her career took place in 1973 against former men’s champion Bobby Riggs, a self-proclaimed male chauvinist pig who declared that, even at the age of 55, he could beat any woman in the world.
