A Game Inside The Cage, Where England's Greatest Footballers Are Born
Roughly 14% of English-born football players hail from the 10 square miles that make up South London. They including stars Jadon Sancho, Joe Gomez and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
For our latest Free of the Week, director Alex Donaldson of Alleycat Films beautifully captures a neighbourhood kickabout like any other, full of joy, competition and talent.
At Doc Weekly we’re more than partial to documentaries about the beautiful game but ‘The Cage’ is a reminder that the sport’s beating heart is within our local communities, far from the glitz and glamour of professional football.
Reminiscent of Parisian feature-film, and one of our all-time favourites, ‘Concrete Football‘, ‘The Cage’ is a tantalising glimpse of London’s street football community.
Edit: ‘Free of the Week’ is now ‘Short of the Week’.
