Rimet Trophy Documentary

Code: 020711

Shot in Brazil, England, Spain, Italy, Uruguay and Argentina, the documentary tells the story, using filmed reconstructions, archive materials and interviews with witnesses and experts, of the incredible and mysterious events surrounding the Jules Rimet Trophy, from 1928 to the present. Forged in gold to honor Jules Rimet in 1930, the history of the cup, which dates back a century and crosses the entire planet, is full of surprises and intrigues worthy of a spy story set in Rome, in the slums of Rio de Janeiro and in the city of London. It was hidden in a shoebox under the bed of the director of the Italian Federation Ottorino Barassi, to escape the searches of the Nazis during the Second World War.
