Nous sommes foot - Pour un football populaire

Description

Whether in posh Paris or in the underprivileged areas of Marseille, in the suburbs of Algiers or on the beaches of Malaga, football brings people together and thrills them. But the sport also reflects the social divisions, violence, racism and fanaticism that plague our societies. It is undermined by money and cases of fraud are multiplying in the face of the financial stakes represented by "football business".

However, the terraces of sports arenas also echo the commitments of citizens on the part of players and supporters who have taken up the game to defend humanist values and a meritocratic ideal. Football is also a magnifying mirror that tells us about the social and ideological struggles of our century, the vices of our societies as well as their most beautiful stories.
