Death Match

[pudseyb]

Can anyone tell me where I might purchase a copy of the film 'Match' a Russian film telling the story of Ukranian Footballers who took on a superfit Luftwaffe team and beat them. Several of the winning team were subsequently murdered or sent to labour camps. In peacetime the Ukranians played for Dynamo Kiev and Locomotiv respectively. I know its out there but just cant find retailer.

Thanks Steve.5 Thats the film alright but unfortunately only the trailer. I'm looking for complete film. Read Andy Dougan's book 'Dynamo' years ago and interest was only resurrected when I saw that Gerard Butler is making a film in 2014 on the same event.
Cheers.

Not heard of this film. Who banned it and why?

Thanks again Steve.5
Obviously I'm not looking in the right place!! Will recheck youtube. Didnt know it had been banned though. Who was it? The Ukranians, Germans or Russians..they all seemed to have an axe to grind when it first came out?

Cheers.
