Clarke Carlisle starts this film convinced that racism has mostly disappeared from English football. As a former Premier League defender and chairman of the Professional Footballers' Association, he has a rare vantage point on the sport's inner workings, and he sets out to test his own assumption rather than confirm it. The film follows him talking to players, officials, and fans, tracing incidents and attitudes that complicate the tidy narrative of progress the game likes to tell about itself. Carlisle's position within the PFA gives him access most reporters would not get, and the camera stays on him as his certainty erodes over the course of the conversations. What starts as an inquiry becomes something closer to a reckoning, with Carlisle forced to reconsider his own earlier optimism in light of what people tell him directly. The film does not resolve the question so much as document one insider's changing answer to it, ending with Carlisle acknowledging that the problem he thought was solved is still very much alive in the sport he played.
