EIGHTEAM - Mini Documentary on the Chipolopolo from Tragedy to Glory

"Eighteam” is a documentary film that shows the trip of the Chipolopolo from tragedy to the glory.

The Chipolopolo were a very promising Zambia national team that at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul thrashed Italy 4-0. They had their eyes on the 1993 Africa Cup of Nations trophy and a place at their first World Cup. No country has had to deal with a bigger blow to its national team. Yet for Zambia there was no option but to continue.

"Eighteam" narrates the resurrection of Zambia's national football team embodied in its star, Kalusha, after losing 18 teammates in a plane crash in Gabon in 1993. 18 years later destiny makes its move: in Gabon, Zambia becomes African Champion after a long 18 penalty-shoot-out.
