GORĄCZKA SOBOTNIEGO POPOŁUDNIA
SATURDAY AFTERNOON FEVER
Football along with coal mining is a key part of the Upper Silesian identity and a role model of the region. The Silesian clubs dominated the Polish league for decades. The collapse of the socialist system was also the downfall of these clubs. It wasn’t different for the small team of Ruch Radzionków. But the provincial club caused a sensation in the Polish football scene for several seasons due to the unparalleled commitment of the local small businesses.
This film tells about the love for the club, about values, from which professional football today has long distanced itself, and about football as a culture and meaningful power in the local community. KM
