The Only
The Only delves into Briana Scurry's incredible life as a goalie who made it into the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame's Hall of Fame. This documentary delves into both the uplifting splendor and the terribly dark corners of a Hall of Fame goalie who was the only Black starter and the only openly gay player on his team. The film tells the story of how Scurry overcame racism and homophobia at the time of her greatest triumphs—winning two gold medals at the Olympics and saving a penalty kick that helped the United States win the 1999 Women's World Cup—and how, after her career was cut short by a concussion, she was on the verge of suicide.
