Synopsis

In this time of global unrest, one event brings the world together like no other… the World Cup!

FAN-DEMANIUM tells the uplifting story of ten socially, culturally and economically diverse fans, who all share one thing in common – their passion for football. The goal: to examine why football is ‘the beautiful game’ and the ‘great equalizer’.

Grow intimate with our fans as we learn the unique significance football has to each of them – how their love of the game began, how it grew into obsession, their expectations for their teams, their lives outside of the game.

As the World Cup story goes, only one fan’s team will encounter success: the rest defeat. But none of them would give up their experiences for the world!
