- Synopsis:
An intensely captivating documentary about football's loudest and most passionate supporters. Ultras are not like other football fans. The members of this global subculture are characterized by both extreme passion for their favorite teams and ambitions to make as big an impact on the matches as the players on the pitch. In the stands, they are easily recognizable by their coordinated outfits, choreographed cheering and use of (often illegal) effects such as flares and smoke bombs. Many outsiders view ultras with fear and disapproval – and not without reason. Because in addition to people who cultivate their passion for football within the bounds of the law and decency, the subculture also includes violent hooligans. With the documentary 'Ultras', Ragnhild Ekner explores the psychological, social and political aspects of this phenomenon. The film takes us to four continents and eight countries, looking at how ultras culture offers unity and a sense of belonging at a time when the soul of football is threatened by rampant commercialization. This is an intense, intelligent and visually striking film about modern football culture. - Actors:
