The 1966 defeat of Italy's star soccer team by a scrappy squad of North Koreans has been called the greatest upset in World Cup history. The full story of this bizarre semi-final match is told for the first time in this heartwarming documentary by Daniel Gordon, who traveled to Pyongyang and filmed surviving members of the fabled Korean team. The astounding interviews and archive footage are complemented by Gordon's images of North Korea today, providing a rare glimpse behind the borders of one of the world's most mysterious places
