The Phenomenon

In 1997 Ronaldo Nazario was 21 years old, the best footballer on the planet and destined to become an all-time great. However just a year later everything was bleak. First he was blamed for Brazils World Cup final defeat to France, then he suffered back-to-back injures that threatened to end his career in its prime. But two new knees and one World Cup later, The Phenomenon was back on top. The filmmakers interview the entire cast in this incredible redemption story; Ronaldos family, teammates, doctors and surgeons. And for the first time ever on screen, Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos reveal what really happened in room 290 at the Chateau de Grande Romaine hotel on the afternoon of the 1998 World Cup final.
