The Murphy Library has added the film “Gracie” to its collection. It is rated PG-13. Gracie Bowen is a 15-year-old girl who loves to play soccer. It is the 1970’s and girls’ soccer was nowhere on the horizon in Gracie’s hometown. She is undeterred. She is used to playing with her three brothers and wants to follow them onto the boys’ varsity team. When the school says “no,” Gracie goes to battle. Stars Carly Schroder, Elisabeth Shue and Andrew Shue (both former soccer players).
