“With Diego, I would go to the end of the world. But with Maradona… I wouldn’t take a step”

Asif Kapadia, director of critically acclaimed biopics “Amy” and “Senna”, has turned his hand to the one of the most controversial footballers in history.

A roller-coaster ride of immersive archival footage set to a brilliantly crafted narrative, the film takes particular interest in Maradona’s career at SSC Napoli – a city where the devil is said to require bodyguards.

There, Maradona became bigger than god himself and a sordid tale of talent, betrayal, corruption, and ultimately redemption follows.

After premiering at Sheffield Doc/Fest, ‘Diego Maradona’ is currently out in cinemas – go see it this weekend!
