Write a short summary of what happens in the film

The film brings to life Liverpool FC’s last 10 years through the story of one loyal, local fan, building to the club’s improbable Champions League victory in 2019, which earned them the title “Champions of Europe” for the 6th time. During the film, there are references to pivotal club moments that took place during this period, as well as nods to legends like Steven Gerrard, Philippe Coutinho, Kenny Dalglish, and others. Current stars like forward Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and local boy Trent Alexander-Arnold, as well as manager Jurgen Klopp, are also highlighted. Celebrating the ups and downs of the club and how the bank has stood by them through it all for 10 thrilling years.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

The film was shot on location in Liverpool, featuring local Liverpudlians actors and capturing recognisable sights and sounds in and around the city, from the Trent Alexander-Arnold mural, a fish and chip shop on High Park Street, street soccer courts in Dingle where the dream began for many local born players to a residential neighbourhood along the Mersey River to the roar of Anfield stadium. The soundtrack was recorded by emerging artist Astræa with a unique rendition of Liverpool FC’s famous stadium anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone" – a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel. One of the earliest popular versions of the song was recorded in the 60’s by a Liverpool band called Gerry and the Pacemakers and over the years, it has become a tradition for fans to sing right before the start of every match.
