‘The greatest sports story never told’ Ron Gluckman, Asian Wall Street Journal
In 1966, North Korea provided the greatest shock in World Cup history…
Almost 40 years later two English filmmakers travelled to Pyongyang to try and find the surviving members of that team. The Game of Their Lives tells the remarkable story of how complete unknowns came to beat tournament favourites Italy in 1966, and provides a rare glimpse of life in modern day North Korea.
Join us for this special screening introduced by Adrian Sandiford of Koryo Group, the company behind the film. He will explain how you can travel to the Pyongyang International Film Festival as one of the first western visitors ever permitted to attend.
