Gringos at the Gate 

  • 2012
  • Directors: Pablo Miralles, Roberto Donati, and Michael Whalen

USA versus Mexico. At one time, it was a David-and-Goliath affair.

Today, it is the greatest rivalry in international soccer, rippling with culture clashes, class, race, and a strange reverse power struggle.

From the stifling heat of Estadio Azteca to the water-logged field at Crew Stadium, Gringos at the Gate documents the clash of cultures and the captivating on-field clashes.

In the battle between the Rio Grande neighbors, the lines between soccer and culture are always blurry.

 

ALSO SCREENING: A Most Improbable Life
