CBSN
When Oscar-winner Natalie Portman had a wild dream to start a professional women's soccer team in Los Angeles, the stars aligned in her favor.
Alongside a list of award-winning Hollywood heavyweights, Portman co-founded the Angel City Football Club, which has now entered its second season in the National Women's Soccer League. The team has been drawing sellout crowds and creating a vibrant atmosphere at L.A.'s BMO Stadium.
At the forefront of the Angel City Football Club is Natalie Portman herself, actively involved as a co-founder and leading supporter. In a new docuseries, "Angel City," on HBO Max, the launch of the women's pro team, the first to be founded and led by women, is chronicled.
