In the middle of the Egyptian revolution and in a region where American policies are not welcomed, former U.S. Men’s National Soccer coach Bob Bradley assumes the job of managing the Egyptian National Soccer Team. American Pharaoh goes behind the scenes with the team and Bradley as they attempt to qualify for soccer’s ultimate event, the World Cup, for the first time in more than 20 years. In gaining access to the training camps and providing in-depth coverage of the Pharaohs’ games in Africa, the filmmakers document the team’s personal and professional struggles to keep their eyes on the prize of getting to the World Cup against the backdrop of the incredible turmoil in Egypt today. The unprecedented access to Bob and Lindsay Bradley, the heated political situation in Egypt, and the unique coverage of the Egyptian team’s training camps and games make this film a must see.
