Brotherhood of Lions

The documentary focuses on the creation of the Lions football club, founded by Roman Ubakivi. At a time when many believed football was unsuitable for Estonians, Ubakivi took on the challenge of training young boys to play the sport.

Through extensive training and competition in Soviet Russia, the Lions became known for their dedication and work ethic. Their journey is depicted through stories that highlight their rise to fame and the sense of camaraderie among the team.

The film also captures how these young athletes became national heroes by the late 1980s, symbolizing freedom and the spirit of independence in Estonia. As the first ambassadors of Estonian football, the Lions laid the groundwork for the sport in the newly independent nation.
