At first, all that connected Colombia’s most powerful drug lord and the captain and star-player of the country’s soccer team was their name. But the lives of Pablo and Andres Escobar (not related) became fatally intertwined after Andres shot an “own goal” during the 1994 World Cup, thereby disqualifying the South American team (which had been funded by Pablo’s drug money) from the competition. Ten days later, Andres was killed. Weaving together sports, crime and the country’s escalating civil war, this fast-paced documentary—one of ESPN’s “30 for 30” film series—is a must-see. Friday and Saturday at 1:25, 4:45, 7:30 and 9:45pm at Sundance Kabuki Cinema.
