In the Game is a 2015 documentary film directed by Peabody award-winner Maria Finitzo that follows the ups and downs of a girls’ soccer team. Set is a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood, this film chronicles the obstacles that struggling low-income families and therefore students must face in their quest for higher education. Elizabeth, captain of the girls soccer team, stresses going beyond what is expected of her teammates on and off the court. Many of the girls are juggling the pressures to get good grades, perform well for their soccer team, and help their families out financially by working. Kelly High School on Chicago’s south side is an inner city public school struggling to provide the basics for their students because of a lack of resources and funding with the school experiencing $4 million budget cuts in the most recent years. Many students of Kelly High School do not make it to college, either because they cannot compete academically or because their families do not have the financial resources to send them to college. The girls face an uneven playing field - or in the case of the girls at Kelly High School, no soccer field at all - little or no support, problems at home, uncertain futures, racial discrimination, and poverty, but remain driven and hopeful thanks to their teammates and the dedicated mentoring of their coach.

Le film couvre une période qui va du stage préparatoire à la compétition jusqu'à la fête finale avec les supporteurs allemands à Berlin après le match pour la troisième place remporté contre le Portugal. On y retrouve ainsi les scènes typiques du quotidien des footballeurs telles que les discours des entraîneurs ou la déception après la défaite face à l'Italie en demi-finale. Dans le documentaire, on découvre de manière plus intime les différents joueurs de la sélection. On y apprend par ailleurs que le sélectionneur Jürgen Klinsmann délègue la partie tactique à son adjoint Joachim Löw pour se consacrer à la motivation des joueurs lors de ses « causeries » avant les matchs et pendant les mi-temps.
