Synopsis

Life in the NFL Europe is funny, sad, profound and ludicrous all at the same time. At its heart, this six-team league is a short step away from either the glamour of the NFL or the bottom of the professional football scrap pile - a cross-roads full of real-life drama where the joy of "making it" is tempered by failure or injury with one misstep; where one play can mean the difference between a multimillion dollar NFL contract and abject poverty. Anderson spends every waking minute with the players - staying at their hotel, eating, drinking and partying - as the team makes its championship run. From this he has formed an inspiring portrait of both new beginnings and bitter ends as fringe players struggle to get noticed on The Proving Ground. A season in NFL Europe.
