“Beautiful Game. Scenic City,” a new installment in the Greater Chattanooga series, premieres online on Tuesday, Aug. 18, and will introduce the public to the people and the passion surrounding the Chattanooga Football Club.
As Americans seem to be catching on to the world's love of soccer, the passion around Chattanooga Football Club is raising eyebrows around the globe. The enthusiasm for the game and this hometown team is best represented by the ‘Chattahooligans’, the club behind the club. These passionate fans are true to their side every match. But their bond goes beyond the action on the pitch, embodying the spirit and pride of a community on the rise.
Greater Chattanooga is a short film series that explores the people and ideas that make us all more aware, happier, and stronger as a community.
