Venus Vs.

"Venus VS." is a documentary examining the ground-breaking actions of Venus Williams and the fair pay struggle in the game of women's tennis as it unfolded at Wimbledon from 1973-2012. From the advent of the WTA by Billie Jean King and the Original Nine to the 2012 gender politics reignited by male tennis player Gilles Simon, the film outlines the prelude to, and impact of, Williams' bold public statement and private campaigning, which served as a springboard for radical change within the sport.
