Rated: 5/5 Jun 28, 2024 Full Review Peyton Robinson RogerEbert.com [S]tirring, exciting, and lively, a kinetic tale that finally spotlights the revolutionary event that didn’t quite turn the tide but certainly started the wave. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Dan Einav Financial Times With this poignant tribute, however, the legacy of that glorious summer should finally get the recognition it deserves — even if, according to the film, to this day Fifa still refuses to acknowledge the legitimacy of the tournament. Rated: 4/5 Jun 20, 2024 Full Review Loren King Newport This Week (RI) An extraordinary and important sports and history documentary.

Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture The malevolent hypocrisy of many actions we see in Copa 71 are righteously angering, but here is a documentary that channels its anger toward setting right the official record.
