Once In A Lifetime
2006 - 96mins Directors: Paul Crowder & John Dower Producer: John Battsek �Once In A Lifetime� is the story of the American Dream colliding with the Global Game. It�s the story of one man's obsession to spark a Soccer revolution in a country that had never even heard of the sport. A richly layered documentary chronicling the New York Cosmos soccer team and its existence during the decadent 1970�s. Through random, ego-driven and/or impulsive decisions, the team�s flamboyant ''larger than life'' teammates and executives made a success with a fan base including everyone from the fashion, music, art, political and business worlds. The Cosmos were a cultural phenomenon in the most happening city in the world. The film premiered at the Berlin Film Festival �06 and was released May 2006 in the UK by Pathe & July �06 in North America by Miramax.

It's the football equivalent of "When We Were Kings'.'' Tim Lovejoy, Soccer AM ''A fascinating film...juicy...engrossing''. **** Empire Magazine ''You�d be hard-pressed to find a better documentary on the subject�probably the most funk-tastic soundtrack in movie history...has an irreverant wit and vitality'' The Times ''an absolute treat...brilliantly edited..never loses its sense of humour and the blistering soundtrack never misses a beat'' First Magazine
