Aug. 26 — UCSB Arts & Lectures will present free showings of ‘Bend It Like Beckham’ at West Wind Drive-In in Goleta

GOLETA — UCSB Arts & Lectures will present “Bend it Like Beckham” at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 26 at the West Wind Drive-In, 907 S Kellogg Ave #3833, Goleta. FREE.

In West London, 18-year-old girls Jess (Parminder Nagra) and Jules (Keira Knightley) dream of playing professional soccer like their idol David Beckham. But Jess’ Sikh parents have more conventional plans – a law degree and marriage – while Jules’ mother wishes for a daughter more interested in boys than soccer. With a cast including Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Archie Panjabi and Juliet Stevenson, Bend it Like Beckham is a hilarious comedy about friendship and family that will have you cheering from the sideline! (Gurinder Chadha, 2002, PG-13, 112 min.)
