Colombia, 1989. As the war between drug cartels escalates on the streets of Medellin, prominent traffickers funnel millions of dollars into local soccer teams, hoping to elevate their country’s status on the global stage.

Featuring first-hand accounts from former referees and players, Dangerous Play (Jugada peligrosa) exposes the influence of violence and greed on the game of soccer – while highlighting the bravery of the officials who risked everything to protect the integrity of the beloved sport.
