🎬 “Arm in the South”: Netflix Unleashes Riveting Documentary on Shawn Andaya — The Texas A&M Softball Icon Who Redefined Greatness
College Station, TX — Netflix has dropped a bombshell into the sports documentary world with the announcement of its latest project: “Arm in the South”, a powerful new film chronicling the untold story of Shawn Andaya, the trailblazing Texas A&M softball legend recently crowned college softball’s G.O.A.T. by ESPN.
Set to premiere globally this fall, the documentary dives deep into Andaya’s relentless rise, her unmatched dominance in the circle, and the legacy she built long before softball had national prime-time exposure. From mowing down hitters in the 1980s to leading the Aggies to a Women’s College World Series title in 1987, Andaya’s arm became a weapon of legend — and a symbol of Southern grit.
> “This is the story of a woman who didn’t just throw strikes — she threw a message,” says the film’s director, Olivia Chavez. “A message that women’s sports belonged on the national stage.”
The documentary features rare game footage, never-before-heard interviews with teammates and rivals, and emotional reflections from Andaya herself. It also explores the challenges she faced: lack of exposure, the fight for respect, and how she still managed to rise to the top — all without the limelight of modern NIL deals or social media fame.
Early reviews from industry insiders are calling it “The Last Dance for college softball.”
As the sport continues its surge in popularity, “Arm in the South” is a timely tribute to the legend who helped make that rise possible. Shawn Andaya’s fire is no longer just folklore — it’s about to light up screens everywhere.
