Surrender to the Sound is about Angel City FC’s unrivaled women’s soccer supporter groups, dubbed ‘La Fortaleza,’ as they devotedly take on their second inaugural season. In particular, this film focuses on one main character, Lesly Vanessa, as she navigates her personal struggles through her second family, AC Pandemonium, one of Angel City FC’s official supporter groups. Other supporting characters, such as Ruby Badio and Kris Resari, emphasize the passion and hard work of a women’s soccer supporter. Through this primarily verite film, the supporters stay loyal through loss, and not only redefine what it means to be a women’s soccer fan, but to represent LA.
