In September 2021, a photograph went viral on social media which appeared to show the 60-year-old Vice President of Suriname, Ronnie Brunswijk, playing for Inter Moengotapoe against CD Olimpia in the CONCACAF League.
Brunswijk is a colourful character, to put it mildly, the former leader of a guerrilla group in the north of Suriname, who is on Interpol's 'Red Notice' as an internationally wanted criminal who was convicted in a court in the Netherlands.
So in this in-depth documentary, HITC Sevens profiles Ronnie Brunswijk, giving context to the viral photograph of him, and explaining how he ended up being Suriname's Vice President and a professional footballer at 60.
