The Salmon River Shamrocks, of Salmon River High near Akwesasne, must fight to keep their funding, as well as to dispute those who say that girls have no place in this traditionally male activity.
The film follows the 2015 team as they seek to be the first Native women's team to bring home a Section Championship.
