“A propulsive account of vulnerable young men flung into a world in which failure is a fate worse than death.”~Wendy Ide, Screendaily

Aroview: Sports biopic telling the true story of Swedish football talent Martin Bengtsson, an 18-year-old whose dreams turned into nightmares when the pressures of the modern football industry drove him over the edge.

Based on Bengtsson's own autobiography, this is a shocking portrayal of the very real price of sporting fame, where young people are exploited as commodities in a ruthless billion-dollar industry. Written by Ronnie Sandahl (BORG VS. MCENROE).
