THE FOOTBALL FACTORY is more than just a study of the English obsession with football violence, its about men looking for armies to join, wars to fight and places to belong. A forgotten culture of Anglo Saxon males fed up with being told they're not good enough and using their fists as a drug they describe as being more potent than sex and drugs put together. Shot in documentary style with the energy andvibrancy of handheld, THE FOOTBALL FACTORY is frighteningly real, yet full of painful humour as the four main characters extreme thoughts and actions unfold before us. Based on John King's book of the same name, THE FOOTBALL FACTORY makes no attempt to moralise, this film, controversial before it's release, is a brutal punch to the senses.
