Key goals are scored in every division of “After The Cup”..
…just like a mid-major school you’ve never heard of in the NCAA tournament, this film came out of nowhere … the fest’s BKS (best-kept secret).
Never forgetting the rush of the game, the directors regularly serve up fleet footage of the team’s highs and lows, allowing the rhythms of the field to set the film’s volatile beat
“the film presents a strong example of sports’ ability to bond the most disparate groups, even as political forces work to keep them apart.”
“A sobering counterpoint to Clint Eastwood’s feel-good reconciliation saga Invictus,”
inspiring and thought-provoking film that never once alienates either soccer neophytes or adrenaline junkies
“it establishes the difficulty of burdening one team to serve as a national symbol of reconciliation”
TIAS (This is American Soccer)
“A more important premiere..”
