Apache: La vida de Carlos Tevez

"Apache" is an extraordinary mini series that retells the early life of footballer Carlos Tevez. How he got his burns on his body, the miserable poor life he went through with his family, the frightening moments at night and the moments he shined on the field and became a legend at boca. The series mostly focuses on the life he went through as a child with his family, how they lived in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Argentina. This series shows an overview of the situation in Fuerte Apache and how the characters face the crime and violence in the streets. The story of Carlos Tevez is a really tragic one when you look at it in a certain point: he used to have a pretty normal daily basis, once the story advances things start to change in his life: his uncle gets shot, his family is in danger, his girlfriend leaves to a different city, he loses his best friend and faces his real mother who left him behind. Sure, he is accepted to Boca Juniors and then to the U-21 squad of Argentina's national football team. Be he grows up faster and becomes more mature, he faces many changes along the way. Now, of course the series needs to have a little more drama so they give the audience some action scenes, I'm pretty sure many of the characters shown are fictional and made only for dramatization. Either way their story is tragic as well: Danilo's arc was really emotional, from a young boy with a lot of potential in football to a boy who succumbs to drugs and revenge, such a tragic tale that is portrayed fabulously. All in all, Apache is a great series that shows how much life is unfair and complex. How people like Carlos Tevez needed to work hard to get out of their neighborhoods and leave a lot behind. I hope to see more series or movies such as this one who talk about football of course, but also tell a wonderful and heartbreaking story.

Let me start by saying, I am Italian, I was born not far from the San Paolo Stadium in Napoli, where my greatest player of all time played...Diego Armando Maradona but I am the biggest Juventus Fan and I loved when Carlos Tévez joined us....I absolutely love him as a player.

So when I read an article about (Apache: La vida de Carlos Tevez). I could not wait to sit down and watch the grim rise of Carlos from Fuerte Apache, one of Buenos Aires's most dangerous, drug fueled neighborhoods. And Carlos through almost naive understanding of his surroundings, somehow managed to stay away from stray bullets, drugs and crime. He followed his passion to play football.

The performances are mesmerizing none more than from Balthazar Murillo, what a find, at times looking at both Carlo and Balthazar there are a lot similarities........

A pleasure to watch and learn how these famous playera struggled in life on daily basis without looking back and further achieve there goals !!!

I am not very knowledgeable about soccer and had actually never heard of Carlos Tevez before I watched the series, but really enjoyed it. Portrays Telez' struggle to survive and succeed amidst the poverty, drugs and violence in the Fuerte Apache district of Buenos Aires. As someone familiar with Mexican Spanish, the language used in this series was full of colorful idioms and difficult to understand, but it fit the characters and setting. Great biographical story of family and community and soccer, although not that much soccer. One thing I didn't like: they kept repeating the same pan-shot of the Fuerte Apache about ten times each episode. Otherwise, yes this series has flaws but still highly recommend it.

I Love true stories and this is really one of my favourites. So mutch emotions and amazing performance of how reality actually can be today, in this world. Carlos Managed to Succed while growing in a dangerous city. Im trully happy for his succes in life. Carlos is a big role model for many people. Im Travelling in few weeks from Sweden to Argentina because I Always wanted to visit La Boca and I Had no idea that Buenos Aires had ghettos thats in this bad condition. It has trully opend my eyes after seeing the series. Only reason why I Gave 9 of 10 Because I Wanted to see More := ) Otherwise from me its 10/10.
