SHOOTING FOR SOCRATES is a David and Goliath story set in Belfast against the backdrop of the 1986 World Cup when the smallest football nation, Northern Ireland, took on the mighty Brazil in a match that briefly reunites a divided country. SHOOTING FOR SOCRATES is a David and Goliath story set in Belfast against the backdrop of the 1986 World Cup. In a Northern Ireland divided on religious lines, 10-year-old Tommy learns to make sense of his world through his passion for football and his father's love of Greek philosophy. Meanwhile, the country's football team, a collection of ringers and misfits, are pitted against a modern day Goliath – the Brazilian football team, led by the remarkable politician/philosopher/footballing genius Socrates de Souza who pronounces "victory is secondary, what matters is joy". This joyous comedy is about following your dreams, no matter where you come from, and losing your heart to the "beautiful game". (Cinemax)

A very nice little movie from Northern Ireland. What I liked about it was the story of their national soccer team. That was actually the reason why I’d been looking forward to this flick. In the end, it didn’t disappoint me, but I’m not excited about it, either. Nothing new on the face of the Earth, but it’s always nice to see sport unite two irreconcilable factions.
