ULTRAS
by Ragnhild Ekner
Ultras – the heart and soul of football stadiums around the globe. The supporters that will do anything for the team and yields that extra power into the game to help their team win. Ultras is not your regular sports film. Trough epic images and a cinematic mosaic of football supporters and their societal contexts around the world, we’ll portray a subculture that is widely known but yet mysterious and inaccessible for most of us.
