"A sports documentary series, five episodes long, that follows the agonizing effort of a group of veteran football players to revive the team that made them famous: OFI. From the absolute decline of 2015 and the collective trauma of a city losing its football symbol, to the chronicle of the search for an investor in America and the arrival of Greek-American entrepreneur Mike Boussis, which signaled the new era of OFI, BLACK FLAME RISING is nothing but a penetrating look into the wild East of European football."—kokkalisgeo
