“Four Guys, No Ball: The Berlin Experiment”

Every four years, since the first Soccer World Cup in 1930, over 200 countries compete for a place at the Finals.In 2006 the tournament was hosted by Germany. Three months prior to the first kick off an advertisement was posted on the Internet, calling for filmmakers to join… a “guerrilla low-budget documentary”. Out of 600 candidates, only four agreed to meet in Germany and document the event. None of which possessed any professional experience or had previously traveled to Germany. This is the hilarious crew’s journey.__________________________________Narrative Synopsis: The crew of a guerrilla low-budget movie from different countries (China, the U.S., Switzerland, Argentina, Cameroon, Germany, and Dominican Republic) pretends to document Germany during the 2006 Football World Cup.
