PARIS 75: THE EUROPEAN CUP FINAL FOOTBALL TRIED TO FORGET

‘Brutal and Poignant.’ – The Times
‘Moving, powerful, magnificent!’ – BBC Sport
‘Burning with rage.’ – The Guardian
‘Enlightening and compelling.’ – Yorkshire Evening Post
‘A shocking miscarriage of justice.’ – TALKSPORT

Following a sold-out screening in January, we are delighted to offer reprise screenings of Harvey Marcus’s heartfelt documentary. A club with deep and long-standing Irish ties, Leeds United Football Club has endured its share of misfortune, with the contentious loss of the European Cup final on May 28th, 1975 perhaps the hardest to bear. The film utilises unseen footage from dedicated fans and builds to the fateful meeting with Bayern Munich whose outcome still angers supporters half a century later.
