I watched every second and couldn't move unless I missed something. These young blokes were clearly not best mates and may have met up through some kind of freestylers' club, but that made it more interesting because you saw how their realtionships and care for each other developed as they travelled closer to Buenos Aires. Some of the photography, though filmed on DV, was exceptional, and it also captured the passion for football in south america. It became very tense towards the end when the three who had made it to argentina came very close to not meeting Mr Maradonna, who by the way was much more down to earth and noble than his public perceptions suggest. He would have spent longer with them but was about to miss a flight to peru. This film is the sort of thing that should be shown to inner city kids caught up in crime etc and lacking in ambition, to show that if they put their minds to things, they can achieve. I thought the lad from Liverpool was selfish for leaving the other 2 guys in LA, but at the end you realise that he was just desparate and had to make a comprimise. The repeat of the documentary following FC Barcelona's president Joan Laporta shown afterwards was also very good. It's good to see that the BBC is still investing in this style of programming.

However, I missed this film last night as my Sky+ system failed (loss of signal or something). Having read your review I am now even more disappointed that I will have to wait until March before it is repeated (outside the UK, so iPlayer is blocked). Anyhow, great synopsis, at least I know what it's about now. I heard the film crew discussing this on Talk Sport yesterday and it sounded most interesting.
