Torched tells the story of the Austin Torch, a wild and fiery group of women/non-binary athletes in Austin who are trying to legitimize and professionalize their fringe sport of Ultimate Frisbee in a historically male-dominated sports industry.
As we follow the Torch on the road and at home during their 2022 season, we come to realize that though the Torch might not always win, they somehow never really lose, because it’s more than a team; it’s a movement.
