Agency Yard Concrete Football Documentary for Netflix Celebrates The Beautiful Game
Football fans, rejoice! Concrete Football, a first of its kind film about the culture of street football, is now available on Netflix. The deal, forged by Yard, producers of the documentary, and Netflix, underscores the ability of agencies to produce meaningful cultural content.
The documentary delves into the heart of the sport, portraying the life of football... on concrete. At the heart of neighbourhoods worldwide, kids and adults alike take to the streets to savour the pure thrill of playing the game. A time when rules can be bent, where gatherings are about friends, style, attitude, wisecracks, laughter, not keeping score. A moment of togetherness, wherever and whenever, all around the world.
To illustrate the concept, the producers turned to some of France’s best players, those who proved themselves on the streets before becoming stars on the field (Mahrez, Aurier, Benatia, Dembele…). The film also features interviews with some of the biggest names on the French rap scene (Gradur, MHD, Ohplai, Niska…), highlighting the fact that the amateur game is about so much more than just the sport, it’s part of a lifestyle.
Yard is a pioneer, becoming the first agency to be featured in Netflix’s selection.
