Documentary about the Welsh football team's campaign to qualify for the 2016 European Championships. Since 1945 Wales had only qualified for one major football tournament, but in 2011, when young manager Gary Speed took over the reins, he had success in his sights and vowed to turn their luck around. Tragically, just months later, Speed took his own life and the team and country were left in turmoil. Chris Coleman, Speed's friend and former player, was appointed the new manager and saw it as his duty to continue his friend's hard work. Their efforts paid off and Wales qualified for the 2016 European Championships and as they took the world by storm, they became the smallest country in the history of international football to reach the semi-finals of a major tournament.
