The Football Factory
2004 · TMDB 6.4
Directed by Nick Love
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.
Why it matters
A British drama that follows a Chelsea hooligan, Tommy, as he navigates the violent subculture of football firms, questioning his place within it.
