    ESPN 30 For 30: Hillsborough

    I think it's on tomorrow night....Very sad story but looks like it will be interesting from the trailer I saw on ESPN and the little I know about it

    Watching the EPL this past weekend, every game had a memorial and minute of silence so it's obviously a huge deal in England still to this day....

    From wiki:

    "A look at the April 15, 1989 tragedy at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, England, where a stampede in the stadium's standing-room-only areas killed 96 people and injured 766. The film also examines the ongoing efforts of victims' families to seek truth and justice, as well as tangible effects on English football, including stadium upgrades and the emergence of the English Premier League. (2 hours in length)"

    Yeah definitley....love watching them and hope they can pull off the title....Sterling-Suarez-Sturridge is tough to stop

    I think I saw that the Hillsborough Disaster was 25 years ago to this day which is why the 30 for 30 is airing tonight

    Yeah we do , I remember as a kid watching it live seeing people crushed to death as you can see by the banners that say justice for the 96 it refers to the police cover up which hopefully justice will be done for those family's

    It was very moving and was crazy to see how bad the Cops/Gov't covered it all up in the end and tried to place blame on the fans

    It was very sad watching the families and witnesses recall that fateful day..You can just tell how badly they are still affected by it even 25 years later.....I never realized how young most of the 96 people killed that day were

    Seems like alot of people out there don't agree with your "Boring!" comment....Just look up #30for30

    J Stowe     ‏@HARDWORK_J     3m
    I live for sports docs. This #Hillsborough #30for30 is beyond words.


    Jonathan Lorenz ‏@jonlorenz 44m
    The #Hillsborough #30for30 story is one of the best pieces of investigative journalism I have ever seen, beyond eye opening. #JFT96 #YNWA


    Charlynn Schmiedt ‏@ohtheprofanity 33m
    This. Such emotion. “@pschmiedt: #hillsborough is an excellent #30for30. Maybe one of the three best.”


    matt flores ‏@floresmatt53 24m
    This 30 for 30 on hillsborough is crazy good!! #30for30 #Hillsborough25thAnniversary


    Ed Choi ‏@EGChoi 13m
    #30for30 #Hillsborough Watch it. Trust me. Frightening, appalling, infuriating, and finally, vindicating.


    Matt Wopperer ‏@woppcity 12m
    The #30for30 on the Hillsborough disaster is one of the most incredible things I've ever watched. Even if you're not a soccer fan, go watch

    Yeah that was definitely one of my favorite ones....My sister saw him tell his story live and she said everyone was in tears

    The Hillsborough one tonight was similar to that one in that they were both very emotional and moving

    I'll be watching it. Hell, I even watched the "9 for 9" women's sports documentaries, and even those were really good.

    I remember hearing about this when it happened. At the time, you had similar incidents like this happening in South America to where we here in the States would just roll our eyes at the silliness of people going so crazy and stampeding at sports events. We had no idea what was really happening there.
