How Jehovah’s Witnesses Shaped Two Footballers’ Lives

Peter Knowles walked away from professional football after becoming one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Andriy Nesmachnyi made headlines at the World Cup for refusing to sing the anthem. This video explores how Jehovah’s Witness beliefs shaped two football careers, and what happens when faith, nationalism, and elite sport collide.
