SYNOPSIS
In June 2016, while the Euro football tournament has just started, Russian hooligans attacked thousands of British supporters in front of cameras around the world. France and England were humiliated. The two countries launched an international manhunt which led them to people close to Vladimir Putin.
6 years after the events, this documentary takes us inside the investigation, from Marseille to Moscow via London, to revive this day from a new perspective and question the people involved. How did this Russian commando act? Was the attack planned? What does the investigation tell about the already tense relations at the time between Russian and the Western authorities?
