The White Game

About This Movie

The White Game is a fascinating snapshot of a pivotal moment in 1968. It captures the intense atmosphere surrounding the protests against the Davis Cup match, where sport and politics collide. Lennart Malmer's documentary features real interviews that give voices to both demonstrators and government officials, and it's really striking how these perspectives clash. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the weight of the conversations to settle in. The film doesn’t shy away from the complexities of civil disobedience, and you can practically feel the tension in the air. It’s a raw look at how sport can reflect societal issues, making it distinctive in its approach. Not your typical documentary by any means.
