Directed by Academy Award Winner Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit, Thor: Ragnarok), NEXT GOAL WINS follows the American Samoa soccer team, infamous for their brutal 31-0 FIFA loss in 2001. With the World Cup Qualifiers approaching, the team hires down-on-his-luck, maverick coach Thomas Rongen (Michael Fassbender) hoping he will turn the world's worst soccer team around in this heartfelt underdog comedy.
Join us on Tuesday, November 21 after the 7pm & 7:20pm show for a discussion with American Samoa National Team Goalkeeper Nicky Salapu, who's story is featured in the film!

Reviews
"Next Goal Wins" is Taika Waititi's best and most crowd-pleasing effort to date.Martin Tsai, TheWrap
Waititi's winning, winsome film is his most accessible and mainstream movie to date, Marvel aside, one that successfully mixes in funny jokes with zeitgeisty social commentary.Kaleem Aftab, BBC.com
