Directed by Asif Kapadia
Starring Diego Armando Maradona
Oscar-winning Amy documentarian Asif Kamadia explores the life of the legendary football player in this documentary constructed from over 500 hours of never-before-seen footage.
Diego Maradona was considered the best player in the world from the moment he burst onto the scene in his native Argentina. And yet success proved elusive. He was considered a problem player, too interested in partying. In 1984, Maradona started playing for Naples. The world’s most celebrated football genius and the most passionate but dangerous city in Europe were a perfect match for each other. Maradona in Naples is the wild story of an unrivalled talent, a story of glory, despair and betrayal, a tale of corruption and, ultimately, of redemption.
Maradona was a rebel, cheat, hero and god.
