Also nice for people who don’t like football, I know because I’ve seen it.

The Other Final tells the story of a remarkable football game played on the 30th June 2002, the same day as the World Cup final in Japan. Between the worlds two lowest FIFA-ranked teams; Bhutan and Montserrat (No. 202 and 203).

Bhutan is a remote mountainous Himalayan kingdom and Montserrat is a small Caribbean island with seven active volcanoes. The game was played in Thimphu, Bhutan.

The film uses football as a device to explore the contrasting cultures of the teams, and shows how football can be a global language uniting people. The story, told through interviews and beautifully photographed on 16mm, is of a unique cultural meeting. It begins on Montserrat and culminates at the game attended by 20,000 spectators in Bhutan.

I’ve looked everywhere to find this film to watch before my arrival in Bhutan. No luck!
