Sports documentary series – 5 x 30 minutes episodes
In the shadow of Lisbon’s 25 de Abril Bridge, in Alcântara, Estádio da Tapadinha — home to Atlético Clube de Portugal — holds one of the city’s most striking views and a story that runs deeper than the pitch. That story begins when the improbable happens: a New York entrepreneur named Gifford Miller arrives to buy the football club. But the classic “shabby team turned goldmine” ideal quickly reveals itself as something else entirely: a generation-spanning cultural trademark. Between modern ambition and tradition’s resistance, Miller and his team face challenges on and off the field as they fight to climb back to Portugal’s top division without losing sight of the heart that binds Atlético to its neighborhood. It’s a delicate balance — and from it, This Is Atlético is born.
