VIOLENCE, SUBSTANCE USE

Director: Jean-Christophe Rosé
Cast: Diego Maradona

Play Now

Born to total destitution on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, Diego Maradona dreamt of only two things: to play the FIFA World Cup and to win it for Argentina. Soon, he toyed with defenders worldwide as he dangerously dribbled and lobbed the ball over their heads. His stint with Spain’s FC Barcelona may have been short-lived but he brought along unseen glory to Italian club Napoli and Argentina’s national team and became the Golden Boy of Soccer. Drugs, infidelity, mafia and heart attacks may have taken away years from his career, but soccer fans continue to love him by forgiving his failings.
