Much of the film was originally filmed for World Cup 1978 The Power Of Football with the interviews and flashbacks cut out and replaced with additional football and behind the scenes footage and the original film told the story of the tournament from the Brazilian point of view whereas this edit focused on the cup and the Argentina team though it touched on the fact that most of the world were able to watch the 1978 cup on television in colour whereas the domestic audience in Argentina were not able to watch it on television in colour they had to watch it in Black and white/monochrome over film of the TV centre that was built and a clip of Videla appeared in the beginning of the film.
