Angel City is a gripping documentary series that goes behind the scenes and on the field of the innovative Los Angeles-based professional women's soccer team, Angel City Football Club. Pulling back the curtain on the origin story to the inaugural 2022 season of the women-founded and led team, the series reveals the passion and grit it takes to build a franchise from the ground up and blaze a bold path in the world of professional sports.
“Angel City” and “Welcome to Wrexham” share much of the same DNA, but there is one big difference between the two shows: the women. “Angel City” is not only a documentary series about famous people establishing a soccer club, but it is also about promoting women's sports and the struggles women face in a male-dominated industry.
Stars: Natalie Portman, Jennifer Garner, Alexis Ohanian
This three-part HBO original documentary series is directed by Arlene Nelson and executive produced by Academy Award winners Natalie Portman, Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, with Sophie Mas, Anna Barnes and Christine O'Malley.
