I havn't seen the name anywhere, but I'm a bit out the loop recently.
I would have noticed if any bit of the tagline referenced Shaknin.

How long did the film take to make. They won the cup and did the European thing years ago.
Is the film a bit 'after the horse has bolted'?
I think I would have preferred to see the prequel of the cup-run and Europe.

And I've never trusted 'Football Unites a Divided Community' since the rain-forest load of publications on Derry City FC joining the League of Ireland (1985).
'Bringing people together' and some people sharing the same space for a period of time are two different things.

A similiar style of film from 1996 with Beit Shean

Some blog on the Shaknin film [may contain SPOILERS, but maybe some helpful information.]

The blog talks about individual athletes being integrated, but goes out of it's way to describe their ethnicity. Typically blogging.

I would like the Bnei Shaknin club to be a success, but that club is up against a weight supporting the likes of the racist Beitar Jerusalem.
