The Match
They were forced to play. They refused to lose.
Directed by Dominik Sedlar, Jakov Sedlar
Produced by Ineomedia, Nexus Productions
A historically grounded drama about imprisoned men finding dignity and defiance through sport under Nazi oppression, balancing hope against the darkness of their circumstances.
Inspired by true events from the spring of 1944 when the Nazis organized a football match between a team of camp inmates and an elite Nazi team on Adolf Hitler's birthday. A match the prisoners are determined to win, no matter what happens.
