What happens when two of the most accomplished film makers in the world make a biopic documentary about one of the most famous, talented and adored footballers in the world? Well maybe we should just let you know what the rest of the world thinks:

• Ronaldinho shares trailer for ‘The Happiest Man in the World’ doc and it looks brilliant – Givemesport.com
• Ronaldinho’s documentary, the crack that returned Barça’s smile – FCBN.com

The teaser trailer, released this week, has already had over six million views and is fast becoming one of the most eagerly anticipated sports films of recent years.

The Douglas Brothers first feature, produced by LAMF in conjunction with Nice Shirt and Twenty-Four Seven, will be released in early 2021 and is shaping up to be a complete and intimate portrait of one of the world’s most iconic and enigmatic sportsmen.

“Are you literally trying to ruin my life?”

Anyone who has had the dubious pleasure of sharing lockdown with a teenager will doubtless nod in sage recognition at Jesper’s latest for Sweden’s State Alcohol Shop.

When it comes to pretty much anything, and not least access to booze, ‘no’ is a word that most teens seem incapable of accepting with a measured calm. (Directors are the same, but that’s another story). The result is Trumpian levels of sulking, if not all out nuclear conflict.  And, if you’re not involved, it’s pretty funny… mainly because, let’s face it, we’ve all been there.

As ever, Jesper makes a beautifully observed film about the detailed reality of the human condition.

In a time where intolerance, prejudice and hate crimes are on the rise it appears that global brands are doing what some of our political leaders will not and spreading messages of equality, inclusivity and love. Whatever the motivation it’s a positive stance.

Kim’s latest film for Telekom was finished just before lockdown started. The beautifully crafted film, promoting Telekom’s support of the No Hate Speech Movement, portrays the bafflement and pain of a victim of on-line abuse. It pulls no punches, alluding unflinchingly to the dark history of hate speech in Germany but very much shining the spotlight on the worst of the here and now.

Stuart’s latest, for Italian sustainable energy supplier Sorgenia, features the utterly inspirational Bebe Vio leading a group of young people with a simple plea: this is our world, please don’t f*@k it up for us.

It’s a simple call to action that really ought to resonate with every grown-up.
