Synopsis

freestyle
The Footbag, also known as Hacky Sack, was created in 1972 and has developed into an urban sport phenomenon.
Dismissed by some who see it simply as a recreational activity, this film highlights how technical, aesthetic and spectacular this sport can be. The best players on the planet come together to discuss all aspects of the sport: its origins and how it developed, the skill and dedication needed to excel, and how the internet helped the sport receive wider acknowledgement.

The documentary includes interviews with all the key players, intercut with stunning sequences of footbag footage dynamically edited to music. The best players in the world are featured competing in events all over Europe; in Vienna (Austria), Prague (Czech Republic), Frankfurt (Germany) at the World Championship 2006 and in Lausanne (Switzerland) at the European Championship 2006.
The documentary shows how fun, exciting and exhilarating the sport is, helping to spread the word about footbag and encourage people to ‘join the circle’.
