Más allá de Diego

From a soccer field in an impoverished community in Argentina, young Diego Armando Maradona works tirelessly to develop his skills. While no one could imagine the fame Diego would achieve, the emotional scars left by a military dictatorship and by witnessing first hand life’s many injustices awaken a social consciousness that will accompany him for the rest of his life.

Maradona's undeniable talent leads him to the hallowed Bombonera, where not only Argentina takes notice, but also the rest of the soccer world. As his home country goes to war with England in the Falklands War, Maradona makes his arrival in Napoli, the club where his legacy truly begins to take flight.

In a match that pits Argentina against geopolitical rival England, Maradona’s performance solidifies his status as the world’s greatest soccer player — but more than that, it uplifts his country. Having obtained the sport’s most sought-after trophy, Maradona positions himself as one of the 20th Century’s most prominent figures. Over three decades later, the world says goodbye to a legend.
