Nine for IX

Nine for IX is the title for a series of documentary films which aired on ESPN.

The documentaries were produced by ESPN Films in conjunction with espnW, and were intended to have the same creative, story-driven aspect as ESPN Films' other series, 30 for 30, with the series focusing on captivating stories of women in sports told through the lens of female filmmakers.

[2] The series' name is inspired by Title IX, federal civil rights legislation passed in 1972 that prohibited discrimination on the basis of sex in educational institutions receiving federal aid; Title IX has also been regarded as helping to expand women's and girls' access to athletic opportunities.

The following films are all 60 minutes in length (including commercials).

Additionally, all Nine for IX Shorts aired back-to-back on August 2, 2014, on ESPN.
