This film pushes all the right emotional buttons but so much of it is a bit lacking.
There seems to be too much fluffy filler rather than story-telling. Some of the filler: Baton girl, Anorexic fan (why is she representative of all fans? No others were really featured) and no interviews with Brendan Rodgers - the most influential manager of Swansea - ridiculous.
I did enjoy the Roberto Martinez story and Lee Trundle (no interview again.) In fact it was weird how there were interviews missed from many key individuals. Oh well. I lived in South Wales when I was younger so this film resonated with me quite a bit the landscape that Leon Brittain alludes to remains with me as a lasting impression the slag-heaps and industrial skyline.
As an emotional story this works quite well. As an informative documentary not so much.
