Asif Kapadia, the award winning director of Senna and Amy, now spotlights controversial football genius Maradona, focusing on his time at Napoli, and reveals stories of mafia corruption, drug-taking and sexual infidelity – and of course the infamous ‘hand of God’ goal! Kapadia’s forensic use of archive material traces the curve of Maradona’s time in Italy – from footballing god to his fall from grace, bloated and unloved.
