“Screening ‘Kick Like a Girl’ and hosting the dynamic filmmakers at Zions Bank’s corporate event helped inspire our women officers. Employees and their clients who attended the gathering were raving about the upbeat film. From the wisdom of the filmmakers to the whimsy of the young soccer stars, the motivational event took the idea of team building to a new level.”
