JEDDAH: A feature film about a Saudi football team has wrapped in Jeddah.
“Champions” is based on the 2018 Spanish film “Campeones,” which made an impact with its strong social message and tried to change perceptions about people with special needs.
“Campeones” was a commercial success, attracting huge crowds to Spain’s movie theaters and won numerous national film awards.
Andres Vicente Gomez, the movie’s Oscar-winning producer, said the success of the Spanish movie encouraged him and his team to go for a Saudi remake.
