Real Football documents the brutal, centuries-old folk football match played each Good Friday in Chiddingstone, England. With no rules, 200 players per team, and goals a mile apart, the game becomes a raw test of endurance and tradition. Captured up close and in real time, the work reveals the chaos, vulnerability, and communal pride at the heart of this living ritual. Exploring identity, escape, and the primal need for connection through shared physical experience.
