- DirectorRoberto DonatiPablo MirallesMichael WhalenStarsGustavo ArellanoLeonardo CuellarRick DavisFrom across the only shared border of third and first world countries, two vastly different worlds collide on the soccer field. History has been kind to the financially rich, socially dominant and politically powerful Americans. Not so much for Mexico, with almost half the population living in poverty. For over two centuries and one war, Mexico has been second best to its neighbor to the north. This was true everywhere except in one specific arena. The one place on the world stage that the Red, White and Green trumped the Red, White and Blue, fútbol, or as the yanqui's call it, soccer. Now, in the 21st century, the balance of soccer power is beginning to shift in America's favor and a true soccer rivalry, perhaps the most dynamic in the world, has been born. How difficult has it been for Mexican fans to witness the rise of US Soccer? Can the success of the US National team transform the sport in this country, lifting it to the level of popularity and passion shared by the rest of the soccer-mad world? How does the US Mexico soccer rivalry affect the evolving cultural identities and team loyalties of the growing Mexican-American population? To answer these questions we travel to both US v Mexico 2010 World Cup Qualifiers, the 2011 Gold Cup Final and crisscross the two countries interviewing fans, players, coaches, commentators and average people on the street to discover the power and influence a 90-minute soccer game can have on so many lives.
- DirectorMartín FarinaStarsTomás FarinaJorge Luis MedinaGonzalo PeraltaOn the verge of achieving his dream career, Tomás allows his older brother Martín Farina an inside look at his life as a professional football player. Martín, never able to fulfill his own dream of playing football, steps into the world of Tomás and his teammates through the lens of his camera. However, the rest of the club has their own opinions, some viewing Martín as an intruder, as he exposes their most vulnerable moments, and their concerns for the future after the game has ended. Fulboy offers an uncensored, confessional look at how the athletes behind the most popular sport in the world behave during their time off the field. At the same time, Fulboy reflexively interrogates Farina's aesthetic choices and point-of-view, as well as the viewer's gaze at the male form.
