In 2009, after qualifying for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, the North Korean national team played a friendly game in front of 80,000 fans at the Kim Il-sung Stadium in Pyongyang.
The spectators who witnessed that 0-0 draw believed that the DPRK were playing against Brazil, when in actual fact, their opponents were a team who competed in the second tier of Sao Paulo's state championship.
In this documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look at that club, namely Atlético Sorocaba, their bizarre ownership at the time, and how they ended up in the world's most famous hermit kingdom.
