    Diego Maradona documentary film by Asif Kapadia

    Can't wait for the new documentary film on the way from Asif Kapadia (same guy who made excellent docs about Ayrton Senna and Amy Winehouse).

    Maradona the ultimate flawed genius. Born into poverty in a slum in Argentina, filmed as a child saying his dream was to win the World Cup with Argentina, went on to captain his country to World Cup glory in 1986. Also commonly credited with almost singlehandedly turning Napoli from no-hopers to winning multiple trophies.

    But it's the off-field stuff that will sell the tickets. Alleged Mafia links, drugs hell, violent breakdowns, even claiming the CIA secretly poisoned his Communion wafer so he'd fail a drugs test during the World Cup in the USA in 1994 (because of his friendship with Fidel Castro, he claims).

    This is gonna be great.

    Already released in Europe, not sure about the US release but apparently will be on HBO from September.

    Highly recommend the Ayrton Senna documentary by the same director if you ever get the chance to see it.
