"As our world continues to flatten, sports, particularly soccer, has the power to break down cultural barriers that may have existed for generations. The courageous stories in However Tall the Mountain teach us all that soccer has no boundaries, and that it can change lives. These young girls prove to us all that while we have our own individual identities off the field, on the field, we are universally the same - striving and struggling to achieve our greatest potential."
- Sunil Gulati, President of the U.S. Soccer Federation
