Singing. Shouting. Hysteria. Argentina lives for football. The battle between Boca Juniors and River Plate is not just about sports; it is an ever-enduring struggle for identity. For these football fanatics, the game symbolizes strength, unity, and power in a society beset by stark social and economic divisions. Through a journalistic lens, this film provides an intimate look into Argentina and its beloved sport to reveal an unparalleled passion that reverberates far beyond the pitch. Argentina Futbol Club was directed by acclaimed Argentine Director Juan Pablo Roubio, and co-written and co-produced by local Seattle filmmaker, Gavin P. Sullivan.
