How football helped shape a nation's identity
Sut wnaeth pêl-droed helpu i lunio hunaniaeth cenedl

Guest Adrian Chiles + 2 Special Guests TBC
Gwestai Adrian Chiles + 2 Gwesteion Arbennig

The story of a nation emerging from the wreckage of the Balkan war and the disintegration of Yugoslavia to come 3rd at the 1998 World Cup in France. A nation barely established took on and beat the world’s powerhouse nations, coming within a whisker of lifting the trophy.

Hanes egin-genedl yn codi o ddinistr rhyfeloedd y Balkan a chwmyp Iwgoslafia i ddod yn drydedd yng Nghwpan y Byd 1998. Fe wnaeth cenedl ifanc wynebu cenhedloedd cryfa’r byd a dod o fewn trwch blewyn i godi’r tlws.

This is an entertainment genre exploding onto our screens like no other. Netflix kicked it all off with their Sunderland Til I Die series, now Disney and FX have just launched Welcome to Wrexham made by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McEllheney. Amazon Prime went all in on All or Nothing; a glossy, access all areas take on life inside Man City and Arsenal. Finding Jack Charlton redefined the football documentary with its poignant and sensitive treatment of Alzheimer’s. BBC had a hit with Fever Pitch which told tales of the rise of the Premier League and FIFA launched their FIFA+ platform with a promise of high quality long form storytelling. Now all the major broadcasters want a piece of the action. Factual football films are in fashion. Join key decision makers, industry experts and lead creatives from the sports doc industry who’ll be talk about the whole process – from pitch to production, via fund raising, storytelling, access, ethics, rights and distribution.

Dyma genre adloniant sy'n ffrwydro ar ein sgriniau. Netflix wnaeth ddangos y ffordd gyda'r gyfres Sunderland Til I Die, nawr mae Disney ac FX wedi lansio Welcome to Wrexham gyda sêr Hollywood Ryan Reynolds a Rob McEllheney. Daeth Amazon Prime i'r gêm gyda All or Nothing, cyfres gaboledig yn codi'r llen ar Man City ac Arsenal. Mi wnaeth Finding Jack Charlton ail-ddiffinio'r ddogfen bêl-droed gyda'i phortread dirdynnol o'r clefyd Alzheimer. Mi wnaeth y BBC daro deuddeg gyda Fever Pitch oedd yn olrhain tŵf yr Uwch Gyngrhair ac mae FIFA wedi lansio'i llwyfan FIFA+ gan addo adrodd straeon 'hir' o ansawdd. Nawr mae'r darlledwyr mawr eisiau bod yn rhan o'r gêm. Mae ffilmiau pêl-droed yn ffasiynol. Ymunwch â'r arbenigwyr, y comisiynwyr ac arweinwyr y diwydiant dogfen chwaraeon i drafod y broses gyfan - o'r pitsh i'r cynhyrchu, codi cyllid, adrodd y stori, moesoldeb, hawliau a dosbarthu.
