Soccer reveals the level of racism in our society. From the politicization of certain stands to ordinary racism, to talk of xenophobia in soccer is to photograph a moment in our history.
In this documentary devoted to the shadowy side of the world's most popular sport, Mohamed Bouhafsi draws an uncompromising conclusion, giving the floor to great footballers, from Lilian Thuram to Basile Boli, from Joseph-Antoine Bell to Luc Sonor, as well as interviewing the amateur scene. An edifying film, an unprecedented plunge into rare archives, which for the very first time confronts certain club managers and presidents, making each one face up to his or her responsibilities.
