Renowned director Emir Kusturica presents a celebration of the phoenix-like resurrection of Diego Maradona: sporting hero, people's champion, fallen idol, man of politics and inspiration to millions.

From Argentina to Naples, from Cuba to Barcelona; from family and childhood friends to fellow players (Lionel Messi) and world leaders (Fidel Castro), Kusturica traces the great man's incredible story, from the humblest of beginnings to world-domination; from spectacular, tragic fall to glorious rebirth.

Profoundly moving, joyous,life-affirming, featuring an original score from Manu Chao, MARADONA is both a unique documentation of a growing friendship between the director and his subject and a passionate exultation of a legend.
