Summer of '94

About This Movie

Summer of '94 takes you back to a pivotal moment in American sports history with a raw, almost gritty feel. The documentary captures the awkwardness and naivety of a nation just starting to embrace soccer. It's about more than just the matches; it's the stories of players who were thrown into the deep end, the pressure they felt, and how they navigated a world that didn’t quite understand the game. The pacing feels a bit uneven, but it mirrors the chaos of the time. The blend of archival footage and personal anecdotes gives this film depth—there’s something really special in the honesty of their struggles. It feels intimate, yet it also paints a broader picture of cultural shift. A unique glimpse into a moment that shaped American soccer.
