Give Me the Ball! (Billie Jean King Documentary Screening)
About the event
GIVE ME THE BALL! Friday, September 25 | 8:00 PM | Galaxy Theatres Austin Tennis legend. Equality champion. Game changer. World champion Billie Jean King transformed sports and culture—but her public victories came at a profound personal cost. Directed by acclaimed filmmakers Liz Garbus and Elizabeth Wolff, Give Me the Ball! combines extraordinary archival footage with candid reflections from King to reveal the woman behind one of the most consequential athletes and equality advocates of our time. From her fight for equal pay and the professionalization of women’s tennis to the personal struggles surrounding her sexuality, marriage, and life in the public eye, this rousing documentary goes far beyond the familiar “Battle of the Sexes” story to celebrate the courage and sacrifice it takes to truly change the game. 🎬 Give Me the Ball! 📅 Friday, September 25 • 8 PM 📍 Galaxy Theatres Austin 🎟️ General Admission • $20 Part of The Big Queer Weekend, September 24–27 in Austin. Tickets available now at bigqueerweekend.com.
