The United Way is the epic story of a footbaII club, a city and a man who did more than most to bring success to both. As toId by, co-written and featuring Eric Cantona.
He was an artist on and off the pitch and remains today a genuine superstar. The peerless French maverick is our guide from the dark days of Munich through to a historic treble in 1999. And alI of the drama in between.
The film shares his unique insights into this iconic club with a fresh perspective on the "United Way", taking audiences on a compelIing ride through the history and evolution of the worId’s biggest footbaIl cIub, and the social and cuIturaI environment that shaped it.
Exclusive interviews and stunning archive interweave Eric’s story with that of the club.
We hear from a galaxy of United stars and stalwarts- such as David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Bryan Robson, Brian Kidd, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Teddy Sheringham, Nicky Butt, Peter SchmeicheI, the late Tommy Docherty and many, many more- as weII as era-defining figures from the reaIms of music and poIitics.
From humbIe beginnings in England’s lndustriaI North at the turn of the 20th Century, Manchester United rose with defiance and fIair through the smog of tragedy, adversity and despair to become a cuIturaI colossus.
The United Way is at heart a story of the peopIe. lt is set against a background of four dynamic decades of change on and off the pitch. Lords Heseltine and Kinnock add socio-poIiticaI context. Musicians Peter Hook and Shaun Ryder recall the ground-breaking sounds and styles, which, along with the football cIub, heIped make Manchester a pioneering, swashbuckIing culturaI capitaI.
Set to the stirring score of five-time Oscar nominated, BAFTA-winning composer George Fenton, this is a cinematic journey to discover the souI of a football cIub, of a city, of a people.
This is The United Way. |
