VAR (very audible racism)

England, 2021. The Euros have finally arrived on home soil, and Vince and his football-mad friends are ready for four unforgettable weeks – something that felt unthinkable after the past year. 

But as England’s momentum builds, so does the tension in Vince’s life. His relationships – with his friends, his partner, his country, and his identity as a Black England supporter–are thrown into sharp focus. And as the final looms, he’s forced to confront the uncomfortable truth about race, belonging, and whether the game he loves has ever truly loved him back.
