CHARBONNEURS | RC Lens - le documentaire Ligue 1+ inside évènement sur une saison historique

The most extraordinary behind-the-scenes access in Ligue 1 history, offering an insight into how a top-flight club operates: management, the recruitment team, the changing rooms, finances… and much more. RC Lens’s historic season – finishing second in Ligue 1 and winning the Coupe de France – experienced from the inside, through a region and characters brought to light. How did RC Lens – tipped to finish mid-table and starting the season with a €40 million deficit – manage to compete with PSG, the world’s best team, for the Ligue 1 title, finishing ahead of LOSC, OL, OM and even AS Monaco? How did Pierre Sage, a promising manager, become the best coach of the season, and why did he actually leave? How did the club, its directors, staff and players cope with the success and its consequences, which nearly proved catastrophic? Why did star player Florian Thauvin join the club, and how was he actually integrated? What are the real objectives of Joseph Oughourlian, the club’s owner? "Charbonneurs", a film by Laurent Salvaudon directed by Julien Pedrono, is two intense hours of shocking revelations, behind-the-scenes insights, emotions and a tribute to a region unique in France.
