The Keeper

Directed by Marcus H. Rosenmuller, this engrossing drama tells the incredible true story of a German POW, Bert Trautmann (David Kross), who becomes the goalie for Manchester City while being spurned as the enemy by the locals in war-torn Lancashire and the national press. His love for an Englishwoman, Margaret (Freya Mavor), who stands by him, carries him through as he faces serious injury and loss but goes on to make history (appearing for Manchester City until 1964) and become a footballing icon. Rousing biographical film with rich performances set in struggling post-war Britain.

UK/Germany 2018 (119 minutes)

Sponsor: Stuart Keirle, who will introduce the film
