Synopsis
Derry, 1984. In a city divided by violence and trauma, Derry City football team had been exiled from the national league for 13 years. When four ex-footballers realised their city had lost its joy, they set out to achieve the impossible in persuading the Republic of Ireland to allow them to play across the border – becoming the first team in the world to play in another country’s league. This is the story of how they did it and the extraordinary seasons that followed. It transformed how the world saw Derry and how the city saw itself.
