    it's good

    If you like football, watch this documentary. Diego Armando Maradona is one of (and for me) the best footballer of all time. In this documentary you'll see his moments in the spotlight and the dramatic things that happened behind the scene. A beautiful and powerful documentary.

    Class!

    An absolute masterpiece of unseen footage, compiled to make a brilliant and heartbreaking story of Maradona's troubled life!

    Rise and fall of the greatest

    The movie takes through Maradona life journey and clearly shows the evolution of the player, person and father..... a life lesson....once you are popular the world is behind you but once you fall only the close ones remain...

    Not the best footballer... A god!

    As a footballer, he was in a different category altogether. So full of skill and passion... capable of miracles like taking a mediocre team to the pinnacle.

    As a person, impossible not to relate too and ultimately to love. The story of Elvis Presley, Morrison, Janis and many others who shone very brigtly at a huge cost.

    The film is excellent and helped me understand this very complex character. Highly recommended.

    Fascinating

    A compelling documentary. Really shows the adoration of the man himself and the power that football has to shift the mindset of the community. The film focuses mostly on his time at Napoli and I had very little Idea about what happened when they signed him. Certainly worth a watch
