Passing It On: Documentary

Passing It On: Framing the Stories of Football in Our Community
A documentary celebrating community, activism, and the power of sport to drive change.

From grassroots beginnings in Leicester’s Highfields in the 1980s, Leicester Nirvana FC has grown into one of the UK’s most diverse and community-focused football clubs. Born from the activism of the Red Star youth group, the club has been a driving force for social change, inclusion, and unity—on and off the pitch.

This film captures the voices and stories of past and present players, supporters, and community leaders, exploring how Nirvana FC has shaped lives, built lifelong connections, and created a legacy of resilience and pride.

Looking to the future, the documentary also shines a light on the club’s pioneering ambition to become the UK’s first carbon-neutral football club, linking its heritage of social action with bold climate leadership.
