Best (1 x 60′) – Ten years after George Best’s death, this film separates fact from fiction and the real man from the ‘idol’. With access to never before seen archive and a stellar cast of interviewees, director Dan Gordon will explore how and why George Best, a footballer whose golden years were so brief, achieved legendary status.
In the depths of his spectacular fall from grace, George Best deposited a suitcase in a secure vault of his bank. It lay there, forgotten, for many years after his death. The opening of that case and the revealing of its contents will bookend a film that brings fresh and compelling insight to the story of a very familiar figure.
Combining Dan Gordon’s directorial vision with questioning, forensic analysis, the documentary plots the tarnishing of a national treasure, unpacking the highs and lows of George Best’s life on and off the pitch to make sense of a very public implosion.
