PANTHER PAT Screening at The Paley Museum with Eli Manning
Eli Manning will moderate a conversation following the screening of the documentary about Patricia Palinkas.
The Paley Museum will host a special screening of Panther Pat, the award-winning short documentary telling the remarkable story of Patricia Palinkas, who in 1970 became the first woman to play professional football. The event, PaleyLive's Breaking the Huddle: The Remarkable Story of Panther Pat with Eli Manning In Person, will take place Monday, November 9 at 6:00 PM at The Paley Museum, 25 West 52 Street, NYC.
Directed by Ashley Brandon, the film revisits a groundbreaking yet largely forgotten moment in sports history, tracing how a schoolteacher from Florida stepped onto the field for the Orlando Panthers and shattered a gender barrier in America's game.
Following the screening, two-time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning will moderate a special conversation exploring Pat's extraordinary story, the making of the film, and its larger impact on sports and culture. The discussion will examine the barriers Pat faced, the evolution of women's place in football, and why rediscovering trailblazing stories like hers matters more than ever.
