ABOUT FOOTBALL REBELS
Presented and narrated by former
Manchester United star Eric Cantona,
Football Rebels is a five-part documentary on
five football legends whose social conscience
led them to use their fame and influence to
challenge unjust regimes, join opposition
movements and lead the fight for democracy
and human rights in their countries.
"Football is more than the opium of the
people. It's about good intentions, noble
hearts .... When your country's at war, your
friends are killing each other and children are
given rifles rather than footballs, so what if the
whole world admires you! You have to act."
Eric Cantona
