What Is The Referees About?

The premise of The Referees without spoilers.

The documentary follows the personal and professional lives of elite football referees during Euro 2008, showing how a few decisive minutes can reshape a family’s fate and how the “men in black” cope when attacked by fans. It highlights England’s Howard Webb, whose late penalty against Austria caused controversy, and Italy’s Roberto Rosetti, who refereed the final.
