What Else You Gonna Do On A Saturday?

Drama

The Football Factory is more than just a study of the English obsession with football violence, it's 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.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching dive into the primal rage and desperate search for identity within a subculture fueled by football, drugs, and violence. It's a visceral, aggressive experience that captures the bleak allure of belonging to something, no matter how destructive.
