Wiki.
The Last Proletarians of Football (Swedish: Fotbollens sista proletärer) is a 2011 Swedish documentary film about the football club IFK Göteborg and its success during the 1980s, but also about the development of Swedish society.
The documentary is written and directed by Martin Jönsson and Carl Pontus Hjorthén, with music by Ian Person, guitarist of former Swedish rock band The Soundtrack of Our Lives. Producer Kalle Gustafsson Jerneholm has also been a member of the band.
The title of the film alludes to how the players of IFK Göteborg during the period were part of the class of wage-earners, playing the game as amateurs in a world of professional footballers, just like the proletariat are the class of wage-earners in a capitalist society.
