Storyline
Former World Cup players Germán Villa and Isaac Terrazas have spent years bringing the beautiful game to Mexico’s prisons. Nos Fuimos a Penales documents a year in this remarkable journey, where stars like Cuauhtémoc Blanco (one of Mexico’s most popular soccer players), “The Emperor” Claudio Suárez, who was the captain for Mexico in the FIFA Confederations Cup victory against Brazil in 1999, Luis “El Matador” Hernández (top scorer at the 1998 World Cup in France), and Mexico’s most acclaimed goalkeeper, Jorge CamposMjoin in. But this is more than a feel-good sports story, it’s a vision of how movement, play, and dignity can transform even the most forgotten spaces. With humor, grace, and grit, this doc shows how fútbol can spark freedom where you’d least expect it.
