Roku Originals Launches “Gamechangers” Anthology Series with “Gamechangers: The Ashlyn Harris Story”

The first installment in Roku's "Gamechangers" anthology series follows the journey of two-time FIFA Women's World Cup champion Ashlyn Harris

SAN JOSE, Calif. - April 15, 2026 - Soccer champion and women's sports advocate Ashlyn Harris is telling her full story for the first time ever, in the new Roku Original documentary "Gamechangers: The Ashlyn Harris Story." Sharing her triumphs and defeats both on and off the soccer field, Ashlyn bares all, leaving viewers heartbroken at times and inspired at others. "Gamechangers: The Ashlyn Harris Story" is the first installment of Roku's "Gamechangers" anthology series and will debut June 8 on The Roku Channel.

Women's sports take the lead in "Gamechangers." Initially consisting of three feature documentary films focused on the dynamic world of women's sports, each provides audiences with a beyond-the-headlines look at the forces reshaping the game on and off the field. Details on additional "Gamechangers" projects will be shared at a later time.

Ashlyn Harris is a two-time FIFA Women's World Cup champion and former U.S. Women's National Team goalkeeper who has become one of the sport's most celebrated and outspoken figures. Through interviews with Ashlyn, her family, and her former coaches and mentors, "Gamechangers" traces her journey from childhood to her college and professional careers and her post-retirement advocacy for LGBTQ rights and female athletes.

"I've spent a lifetime learning how to be strong for everyone else," said Ashlyn Harris. "This is the first time I've let the world see what it actually cost me, but also what it gave me. The wins, the losses, the moments I had to rebuild… they didn't break me, they built me. This isn't just my story. It's my truth. And if there's anything I hope people take from it, it's that growth comes from showing up for yourself, owning every part of who you are, and choosing every single day to keep moving forward."

"We're excited to offer viewers exclusive access to fan-favorite athletes like Ashlyn Harris," said Sean Boyle, Roku Originals. "The documentary delivers an unparalleled look into her journey of resilience and dedication, both on and off the field."

"Ashlyn's willingness to be vulnerable and open as she shares her story is remarkable," said Sara Rea of Firefly Studios. "She has faced countless ups and downs, yet her resilience and refusal to give up are deeply inspiring. I'm truly honored to be part of the team she trusted to bring her story to life, and I believe her honesty has the power to move and teach us all."

"Gamechangers: The Ashlyn Harris Story" is overseen by Sean Boyle and Louisa Lenander Friedman on behalf of Roku. It is produced by Firefly Studios. Sara Rea, Jane Lee, Cynthia Wade, and Chet Fenster serve as executive producers.
