The Game of their Lives
North Korea’s 1– 0 defeat of Italy at Middlesbrough in 1966 was by far the biggest shock in World Cup history. The film captures the incredible relationship that developed between the North Koreans and the fans of Middlesbrough. The support was so great in the match vs. Chile that the crowd’s thunderous applause and stamping broke the lights in the press box! After four years of negotiations, a Western film crew was granted unprecedented official access to North Korea to track down the 7 survivors of that great side of 1966. Nothing has been heard from the team since they returned home from their matches in England. Yet, due to the inaccessibility of North Korea to Westerners, it’s taken over 35 years for the players to be put in the spotlight once more.
