Anna had the task of recruiting some teenage girls from a Dublin inner city school, to join a GAA football team. Cameras follow Anna's training sessions and Anna also meets with experts to learn about the ramifications of inactivity on future generations' health and to understand why so many teenage girls are dropping out of physical activities.
