ABOUT THE FILM

Strike Squad

Strike Squad: One Goal From Glory is a cinematic journey into a moment that electrified a nation. Through intimate interviews and rare archival footage, the film tells the story of a team of young men from Trinidad & Tobago who, in 1989, stood one point away from creating history – needing only a draw against the United States to qualify for the World Cup. In front of 30,000 fans, they carried the hopes of an entire nation.


Decades later, they return – not to relive the heartbreak, but to reflect on the brotherhood, sacrifice, and pride that still binds them. This is the quiet redemption of unbroken men – a story passed down from one generation, and revealed to the next.
