"Footballs" is a documentary that explores, with a sensitive and critical lens, the many dimensions of football in Brazil—far beyond the pitches and the stands. Through three distinct stories, the film reveals how the sport intertwines with identity, resistance, and social transformation.
In a quilombo in Pernambuco’s hinterlands, in the alleyways of Santo André’s outskirts, or on the makeshift fields of São Paulo’s floodplains, football endures: in the mud, on cracked asphalt, and amid adversity. More than a game, it is a tool for unity, struggle, and hope.
