From the exotic backdrop of South America to the sophisticated pulse of Europe, Height of Passion explores the culture, history and rivalry of four of the biggest and most exciting football derbies in the world: Real Madrid vs Barcelona, AC Milan vs Inter Milan, Boca Juniors vs River Plate, Flamengo vs Vasco. Football is undeniably the number one sport in the world, and within the Latin community it influences everything. Race, creed and social divisions unite in a common obsession for the game.

Club histories are steeped in rich tribal traditions where stars are treated like Gods.

Stadiums are viewed as sacred temples where fans proudly display their teams holy shroud on the terraces. Height of Passion is not just a football experience, it is the ultimate emotion. Writer-Producer-Director Rod Hay is an award winning filmmaker whose previous football series, Champions of the World and Sleeping Giants are both acclaimed by football fans worldwide.
