The Referee is a...
...29 minute documentary which follows a year in the life of swede Martin Hansson. It tracks his dramatic journey towards what he hopes will be the pinnacle of his career, to referee at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The mood of the whole piece is quite creepy and as director Mattias Löw explains in an interview with football website 'Never Captain Nicky Butt' ..."he seemed completely obsessed with making it to South Africa 2010. The Hannibal Lecter kind-of-look he offered us and his relative openness to our documentary topic convinced us (to film the documentary)".
It would be great to hear your comments once you've watched it.
