The Mexican National Soccer Team is a source of pride and passion for Mexicans. It’s a squad that has been forged over time, has learned from its mistakes, and has achieved remarkable feats in recent World Cups. This is the story of its setbacks and triumphs in its first World Cups—and of how, with time and dedication, a team was built that has given us unforgettable moments. Relive the excitement of Negrete’s scissor-kick goal in ’86, the goals by “El Matador” Luis Hernández and Luis García at USA ’94, and the exploits of Cuauhtémoc Blanco at France ’98. A documentary featuring the key players, behind-the-scenes stories, and footage of the Mexican national team that you’ll enjoy forever.m

Documentary film commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Mexican team.

A sport like football is primarily a passionate celebration, but one that is so massive (economically, politically and socially) that it, of course, also brings many problems. Olallo Rubio's third documentary (and fourth film in total), Ilusión Nacional, is a take on how the world's most popular sport relates to Mexican society and politics.
