EVENT DETAILS
Religion of Sports invites you to join a discussion at our House of Ftbol, featuring an ensemble cast of experts in the sports & film industries. Get invaluable insights from those who work in the field about the tenets of a captivating sports documentary, & how this form of storytelling is so important in today's sports world.

This conversation will focus on the importance of giving athletes a platform to speak their truths, & the rise of athletes using the documentary format to control their own narratives.

At this event, you're also invited to explore the rest of the House of Ftbol experience, which includes works chronicling the history of the World Cup, screenings of our favorite soccer films & other creator content, as well as interactive ways to examine why the sport is worshiped with religious fervor by the masses.

Water from Liquid Death & Red Bull will be served. Those 21+ can enjoy beer from 18th Ward Brewing, Dirty Shirleys, & wine.
