Erlebnis Fußball: "A guardia di una fede – Wächter eines Glaubens"

Insights into the scene of the Atalanta Bergamo Ultras - from the inside!
The director in an interview with "11 Freunde": "The Atalanta curve does not accept footage of any kind. But before I even started filming, I had been part of the fan scene for a long time - and was the only person allowed to hold the camera. Also because the lads knew what I would do if the police ever got hold of me."(https://www.11freunde.de)

A GUARDIA DI UNA FEDE - GUARDIANS OF A FAITH

ITA 2023. D: Andrea Zambelli. Documentary. 102 min. ItalOmdtU. FSK: 16

In the world of Ultras, the Atalanta Bergamo fan curve has a special significance. Anyone who has grown up in Bergamo and the surrounding area will sooner or later come together in the "Curva Nord" to become a "guardian of a faith". Claudio "Bocia" Galimberti has been a member of the Bergamo Ultras all his life, part of the hard core - one of the most respected and feared groups in Italy and Europe. Director Andrea Zambelli traces the last two decades of Bocia's life: the violent clashes with the police in the 1990s, the transformation of the Curva Nord into the glue of urban society, the repression that led to numerous trials and Bocia's exile, and the development of soccer from a sport for all to a global business.
