Some kind words:

„Authentic scenes, as if the camera would not have been there, the dream of every documentary filmmaker.“
(Der Tagesspiegel, Berlin)

 „ A very inspired documentary debut.“
(Financial Times Germany)

 „Absolutely worth watching....an entertaining portrait.“
(Huddle – The Football Magazine)

"According to Hawes-Davis (festival founder and programming director of Big Sky Documentary Film Festival), some of the best films in this year's festival are sleepers.
"I think people tend to look at content and decide what to see based on whether they're interested in the subject," said Hawes-Davis. "But that means they might overlook some great ones." As one example, Hawes-Davis points to "Weekend Warriors," a film about young enthusiasts of American-style football in Germany.
"It's probably not apparent from the subject matter, but that's a film that's just so funny and well-made, the characters are really well-developed and interesting," says Hawes-Davis. "It's great, even though you may not expect that from what it's about."
