Documentary film Green Lions is now available on DAZN.
Green Lions showcases the Cameroon team at the Italia ‘90 FIFA World Cup, who became the first African nation to reach the quarter-finals, after defeating reigning world champions Argentina in the opening match of the competition.
Billy Dosanjh directs, and it is produced by Archer’s Mark and Dark Pictures. Yaw A. Basoah and Grant Best are producers.
Exclusive interviews with stars from the 1990 World Cup feature heavily, including with Cameroon’s Roger Milla and captain Stephen Tataw as well as Italy legend Gianluigi Buffon, England star & quarter-final opponent John Barnes and Argentina star Claudio Caniggia.
Basoah said: “Like so many football fans, Italia ’90 was the start of our love for the game. The indomitable lions of Cameroon and their David-vs-Goliath exploits were at the heart of that inspirational tournament. It was a privilege to meet these heroes, relive their feats and explore their colossal impact on the footballing world.”
Best commented: “Green Lions, a DAZN Originals production, is a story that stands truly on its own in World Cup achievements. An irresistible narrative that encapsulates the team’s journey and how they captured the world’s imagination during Italia ‘90. Their unforgettable World Cup exploits have never been fully explored so intimately and we are excited to bring their incredible story to our sports fans in some of our biggest markets ahead of the FIFA World Cup.”
Green Lions is the third of three World Cup commissions from DAZN, joining Maradona: The Fall, and The Phenomenon: The Rise, Fall and Redemption of Ronaldo.
