Read more

Stand or Fall charts Brighton & Hove Albion's astonishing journey from near oblivion to Premier League prominence and European competition. The film captures a tense moment in 1997 when relegation-drawing a match at Hereford prevented their exit from league football, then follows the club's perseverance through temporary stadium relocations, bureaucratic battles, and tragedies - like the 2015 Shoreham air disaster. Fans, from celebrity DJs to local poets, unite in love and resilience. Under billionaire Tony Bloom's data-driven vision and charismatic managers, Brighton transcends expectations - culminating in a stunning 4-0 win over Manchester United. This vibrant documentary celebrates community, ambition, and the beauty of underdog triumph in the heart of Sussex.
