I enjoyed every second. One of the best documentaries I've seen so far. Nick Alfieri did a great job. The passion of Sigi and of all players is amazing! In my opinion, the ending could have been longer, but then it might have become too long-winded. It's fortunate that Nick Alfieri is both a football player and a filmmaker. This gives great insights into this extraordinary team that would otherwise not be possible. Anyone who likes stories about underdogs and doesn't hate football must have seen this film. I hope that the film will also appear on the German market. I'm looking forward to Nick's next film.
I just watched Unicorn Town again for the second time. It's wonderful. It tells the story of a bunch of small town American and German boys, fighting their way to the top of the American football world in Germany during one hectic season. Director Nick Alfieri has put together a gripping and insightful story. He shows not only the excitement of the football action, but also delves into the philosophy of the Unicorns organization, with their three guiding principles of winning, family and future. He skillfully showcases the brotherhood of this group of young warriors. Even if you're not a fan of football, the fight of men who truly give their all against teams supported by corporate money will thrill you.

This story is compelling and masterfully presented! Regardless of whether you are a sports fan, you will love this story of triumph over adversity. You never lose sight that the central character is the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns while being engrossed in the individual journeys of the people who make up the Unicorn family. Well done!
Disclaimer: I'm a long time watcher and fan of the director's vlog series on YouTube and thus a bit biased - my impressions should therefore be taken with a grain of salt.
I think I can nonetheless say that this is a great documentary that works on several levels and achieves many goals all at once.
It is a personal story of discovery. It's an inspiring underdog story and it's a monument to a person, who achieved greatness through passion and hard work.
While there is nothing new or groundbreaking to see here as far as it comes to sports documentaries, it shines (mostly) in execution and heart - and there is a lot of heart to be found, on screen and behind the screen.
And without spoiling too much - the last act is one of the more exciting things I've seen in recent times, even though I knew the outcome beforehand. It's an achievment in itself to ehm... achieve that.
Sometimes it's just life that tells the best stories.
