Power, money, politics... this isn't a game

Beitar Jerusalem FC is the most popular team in Israel and the only club in the Premier League never to sign an Arab player. Midway through a season the club's owner, Russian-Israeli oligarch Arcadi Gaydamak, brought in two Muslim players from Chechnya in a secretive transfer deal that triggered the most racist campaign in Israeli sport and sent the club spiralling out of control.

Interesting facts

Forever Pure is a 2016 British-Israeli documentary film directed by Maya Zinshtein.

Production

Production for the film began in 2012 when Zinshtein, who was working as a journalist, made short segments for the investigative program Uvda ("Fact").

Zinshtein, who was freelancing for the Israeli show, was assigned to follow two Chechen players for a few hours on their first day in Israel. After four days of filming, she realised that the story would not end there. After the short TV segment had been shown, she decided to do it by herself and started a four-year journey of making the feature documentary.
