Synopsis

Refereeing is a very unfortunate profession. In fact, it is rightly said that if the official goes unnoticed during a game, he has done a good job. ONE AGAINST ALL shows one of the lesser known facets of the world of soccer, one that might have never been properly portrayed in this world where the stars are always the players. The torn fences, the turmoil of fans only a few inches from the sideline, enraged screaming of hundreds or thousands of people directing their anger, resentment, and frustration toward one figure alone: the symbol of authority on the field. The program will recapture stories that are unique, bizarre, unusual, almost surreal; stories where the unpredictable and rebelling against the rules and the status quo define the style of Brazilians and their football.
