Interview: Zee Zomorrodian talks “5 Great Sporting Documentaries”

In his latest podcast/interview, host and screenwriter Stuart Wright welcomes We Are The Geordies producer Zee Zomorrodian to talk Newcastle United and 5 Great Sporting Documentaries – including:

• HOOP DREAMS (1994)
• WHEN WE WERE KINGS (1996)

While you may be familiar with NUFC legends like Alan Shearer, Malcolm Macdonald, Les Ferdinand and, of course, Rafa Benítez, the legions of fans are the real stars in We Are The Geordies. It takes a unique look through the eyes of 11 NUFC fans from across the spectrum, an in-depth, close-up view of what it takes to be a supporter: the travelling, the sacrifices the highs, the lows, the passion, the unwavering belief – the FAITH – as we join them on their arduous and emotional season-long journey to help lift a once great club back to the top flight. Led by world-renowned manager, Rafa Benítez, who only six months earlier had been manager of Real Madrid (from the Bernabeu to Barnsley, who could resist?) and who had surprised many when he decided to stay on as manager of NUFC after their relegation to the second tier of English football.

We Are The Geordies is out Friday 11 December 2020 on DVD and for sale on all good Digital Platforms (Amazon, Apple, Google Play et al) Pre-order your DVD here.
