The Game of Their Lives (천리마 축구단) or "Chollima Chookgudan" is a 2002 documentary film directed by Daniel Gordon and his executive Nicholas Bonner about the seven surviving members of the North Korean national football team who participated in the 1966 FIFA World Cup. Its victory over Italy propelled the North Korean team into the quarterfinal: it was the first time an Asian team had advanced so far in a World Cup.

Synopsis

En 1966 en Angleterre, la Corée du Nord l’emporte contre le favori, l’Italie, imposant sa présence aux yeux du monde entier. Ils rentreront au pays en héros. Aujourd’hui, l’équipe qui a terrassé le géant peut enfin raconter son histoire. Ces hommes âgés, aux costumes épinglés de médailles consciencieusement astiquées, illustrent une vie et un état d’esprit incompréhensibles en dehors de la Corée du Nord. Le plus grand choc de l’histoire de la Coupe du Monde de football.

One Goal is an objective, but also a passion. This documentary follows the path towards peace that a group of young amputated men began in Sierra Leone years ago. Through the power of their game they have become an example for their society. From icons of war to icons of peace and hope, they transformed their lives through a shared passion: football.
