Documentary exploring the 1973 'Battle of the Sexes' tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs and its repercussions. After claiming that women played an inferior game and therefore no female player could beat him even at the age of 55, Bobby Riggs played current women's number one Margaret Court and defeated her comfortably. A few months afterwards King stepped up to the mark, after previously declining a challenge from Riggs, going on to beat him in straight sets. Through doing so, King not only restored women's self-esteem in tennis but also paved the way for equal pay among top players regardless of their sex. The match has since been regarded as a significant turning point in tennis and women's sport in general.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play The Battle of the Sexes; that tells the story of a match that defined a movement the infamous tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs in Houston 1973 Weaving together the story of the embryonic women&39;s movement and the battle to establish equality on the tennis court (a literal level playing field) It shows how a group of women banded together to overthrow the male establishment - to become true pioneers More than a mere historic telling we hope this film has the emotional power of a drama
