Almost two billion people followed this event live on television. The documentary "The Final Kick" unites the most dramatic moments of a final with reactions from viewers all over the world: for example in a Dominican monastery in the Czech Republic, in front of a mega-screen at the train station in Beijing, in the harem of the most famous folk singer in Cameroon, at the fish market in Seoul, in a prison in Minsk and in many other places. Local film-makers, like Mika Kaurismäki and Victor Gaviria, were filming in 40 countries simultaneously for this fascinating, global documentary - probably the most unique venture so far. This sports documentary, unique in many aspects, has been broadcast in 20 countries so far. In 1995, it was awarded the Adolf-Grimme-Prize, the most renowned television award in Germany. TEAM
