Anita Carmona Ruiz Biopic: The Little Known Of A 1920s Female Soccer Player Who Disguised Herself As A Man

A new biopic will tell the story of Anita Carmona Ruiz, the Spanish soccer player who disguised herself as a man to play the beautiful game on men’s sides. It hails from LaLiga Studios, which is a joint-venture between Spain’s top soccer league and the Iberian division of production and distribution giant Banijay. “Our goal is to make a film that moves, mobilizes, and tells the whole world the practically unknown story of Anita Carmona” said Paco Torres, the project’s director and co-screenwriter with Amaya Muruzábal.
