Watch The New Trailer For PELÉ: BIRTH OF A LEGEND

Opening in theaters May 6th and VOD May 13th is the upcoming film PELÉ: BIRTH OF A LEGEND.

PELÉ tells the miraculous story of the legendary soccer player’s rise to glory from a young boy, to the 17 year old who scored the winning goal in Brazil’s first ever World Cup victory in 1958. From a life full of disadvantages and an impoverished youth in Brazil, Pelé used his unorthodox yet authentic style of play and his unbeatable spirit to overcome all odds, find greatness and inspire a country that he changed forever.

Starring Kevin de Paula, Vincent D’Onofrio, Rodrigo Santoro, Diego Boneta and Colm Meaney, check out the trailer below.

PELÉ: BIRTH OF A LEGEND is from Jeff and Michael Zimbalist – the filmmakers behind the sports documentary THE TWO ESCOBARS.
