    For those who are unaware of it, it is a documentary about the murder of Columbian defender Andres Escobar after he returned home from the 1994 World Cup in which Columbia flopped and he scored an own goal. But it also offered up an absolutely fascinating sociological and historical recount of the events which led to the state of Columbian society at the time.

    Well worth a watch:
