A film looking at Motherwell FC as the first top flight community owned club in the UK.
The film looks at a football club doing things differently, fighting against the current climate of wealthy investors and making the bold jump of placing the fans and the local community as owners of their own club, through the supporter body 'The Well Society' who have a majority shareholding.
It aims to ask the question of what a modern football club is there for, who it belongs to and what purpose it can serve in a time of social and economic turbulence in towns and cities across the UK.
