As incidents of football racism soar in the UK, players at every level of the game are calling for drastic action.
The football authorities claim great strides have been made in rooting out discrimination. But the statistics are damning. Last season saw a 66% rise in hate crimes at professional football matches in England and Wales.
With emotional interviews and shocking undercover footage of abuse, this film shows the scale of racism that still needs to be tackled. We hear from players at all levels of English football who have been at the heart of some of the most recent high-profile incidents.
The film shows the devastating impact that the abuse can have on the players and their families, and asks what can be done to stop this.
