Thanks to this movie, even little girls on the other side of the world know who David Beckham is. Though he is a household name in some parts of the globe, the movie Bend It Like Beckham brought him into the zeitgeist for those who never even followed the sport. Jess Bhamra came from a family that didn’t exactly encourage young women to play competitive sports.
