FILM INFO

Feature Documentary | 90 min | UK | 2014 | Directed by Gary Sinyor

‘United We Fall’ is a satirical entirely improvised mockumentary about 5 football mates who played for “the biggest football club in the world”  - the team David Beckham played for - and had the incredible chance to become heroes and make history. All they had to do was win the last 3 games of the 2010 season.

Olly Hunter is slightly more interested in his looks and brands (including condoms) than his football.Danny Keegan is a vehement socialist despite earning 150,000 pounds a week. Stevo Fallis is a cheeky c***  - in his own words. A practical joker, he has mastered the art of fouling people.Kwasi “Modo” Amoako was brought in from Ghana to help the team win, but his love of sex and rap upset things. Until he converts to Islam.Kurtzie is a German goalkeeper who hates racism and loves extreme danger.

Their story is helped along by the Prime Minister, a possibly corrupt FIFA official and a foxy PR assistant who all shed light on what exactly happened in those 2 weeks. Homophobia, racism, adultery and plain old stupidity still haunt “the beautiful game”.Could these five “ordinary lads” make history?No they bloomin’ couldn’t. They failed, totally and utterly.So they re-unite over a formal lunch with their partners to work out what went wrong – and some very surprising secrets spill out.
