💨 Abstract
The 2002 film "Bend It Like Beckham" made a profound impact, especially for South Asians and the LGBTQ+ community. The story of Jess, a young Indian girl who defies cultural norms to play football, resonated deeply. The film subtly addressed queer themes, helping many queer South Asians understand their own identities.
