Multi-award-winning British filmmaker Asaf Kapadia’s eye-opening new documentary on Argentinian soccer legend Diego Maradona draws a fascinating connection between Maradona and the city of Naples. Therewith a symbolic connection is also drawn between Argentina and Italy at large, but the interaction between the two is complex and fraught with challenges and is soon taken into a political realm ̶ sports a subject triggering a heavy socio-political discourse. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:630/0*34Akz-DFciPw-uFe.jpg" style="height:619px; width:700px" /> Photo Naples, Italy: Diego Maradona by Jorit Agoch. LA STORIA DI DIEGO A NAPOLI ERA LA STORIA DELLA SUA VITA The documentary stands firm in the belief that ‘Life is not what we do, it is about how we do it’. Chartering Diego Armando Maradona’s life and career, the film moves from one event and high (and low) light to another, gaining speed as we get to know the footballer both as a man with many needs, and a legend, untouchable, unbeatable, a national and international hero (and, granted, anti-hero).  <a href="https://medium.com/@kastanjett/diego-maradona-worshipped-and-deposed-by-the-city-of-naples-d776e8093f38">Website</a>
