Brotherhood of Lions (2022)
The documentary “Brotherhood of Lions” is a story about the legendary football club Lions. Lions were created in 1978 under the leadership of Roman Ubakivi who wanted to start training Estonian boys when the general sports circles did not think the world’s most popular game was suitable for Estonians. The tremendous training volumes, successful trips to competitions in the Soviet Russia, tales of happenings and work ethics that are absurd from today’s point of view all paint a colourful, warm and inspiring story of young men, their charismatic coach and everybody else who took part in their journey. Promoted by the media, those young boys became national heroes at the end of the 1980s and, in the winds of freedom, people started to see them as the Estonian football team. Unknowingly, the Lions were thus like the ambassadors of freedom, and even more so – the foundations of football in the newly independent Estonia.

For some people, loving the local football club is a calling. Anything can be a calling to everyone. People say that the calling is: PSS! Sleman Regency's beloved club is adored not only by Sleman locals but also by anyone who is enchanted by its calling. Those called by PSS took Brigata Curva Sud (BCS) as their identity. Whenever PSS matches are held, home or away, it is a big day to be celebrated. Fanaticism involves love, and love trumps logic. At that time, the industry, which did not value integrity and loyalty, took advantage of people's affection for PSS. PSS is not a business; PSS is love and dedication!
