Quintosole

If your a little bored, here's a free 50-minute film
Quintosole
"The documentary Quintosole has been realized in the prison of Milan-Opera. It tells the story of a team of prison inmates (Freeopera) which entered the regular 2003/2004 italian soccer championship in the third category and succeeded in winning and getting through the heat.
In Quintosole, soccer is a pretext to talk about prison conditions from a new and original viewpoint. The training scenes and the matches are accompanied by the words of the protagonists, revealing their intimate thoughts and hopes.
Confronting themselves with a popular sport like soccer and with external teams, the inmates seem more real and sincere when talking about their problems and their lives in such a place as a prison."
