Total Football - Part 1

In June 2010, The New York Times Magazine traveled to Holland and visited the AFC Ajax. From the club that brought the footballing world Johan Cruijff, Marco van Basten and Dennis Bergkamp comes a video directed by danish photojournalist Joachim Ladefoged. He presents the "sights and sounds of the fabled youth academy of Ajax Amsterdam, where boys start working at age 7 to become professional soccer players".

Having studied and worked within the creative industry as a graphic designer until recently, this is a very well observed and stylish piece of film making.
