USA, Germany, Jamaica2018documentary72'Konkurs dokumentalny (2018)
Against all appearances, the film title is not the name of a music band, but the Jamaican national football team. Since 1998, when they managed to qualify for the World Cup, Jamaicans have been putting out their best efforts to repeat their memorable success. Each victory of the representation has a unique flavour in the country mired in poverty and violence. Will the new German coach help them realize their dreams? Reggae musician will also play an important role in this story. ARTE invites for the screening.
