The Longest Journey, Newcastle United

Newcastle United fans travel further than any other group of supporters in the premier league. This one club city has an incredible connection to its team, and nowhere is this more felt than on an away day. From local fans to supporters from abroad, going away with Newcastle is central to the identity surrounding this club. A film about football with no football in it, this is a film about the forgotten faces of modern football, the fans who make the atmosphere the whole world tunes in on television to see. Hours upon hours spent travelling the country, waking before dawn and arriving home well after the next one just to see a team that almost never wins, although they really should.
