For me, it was important to make a film that would also reach people that maybe don't like football at all, because this experience was not just about kicking a ball, but much more about passion, humanity and unity. - Johan Kramer, director

In an uncertain world, The Other Final is a story about how sport can bring two cultures together.

The Other Final tells the story of a remarkable football game, played on 30th June 2002, the same day as the World Cup final in Japan. It was between the world's two lowest FIFA-ranked teams; Bhutan and Montserrat, (no. 202 and 203). Bhutan is a remote mountainous Himalyan kingdom and Montserrat is a small Caribbean island with seven active volcanoes. The game was played in Thimphu, Bhutan.

The film uses football as a device to explore the contrasting cultures of the teams, and shows how football can be a global language uniting people. The story, told through interviews and beautifully photographed on 16mm, is of a unique cultural meeting. It begins on Montserrat and culminates at the game attended by 25,000 spectators in Bhutan.
