Born in Colombia to traditionally strict parents, filmmaker John Reavey follows Alex, a 22-year-old from London, finding out his story about what it means for him to be gay and play football today. Exploring how this isn't just an issue for someone like Alex, and how a club can bring people together to help enjoy the game - and also change lives. Special thanks to:. London Titans F. C.
