EAST BENGAL ULTRAS - A documentary about a growing movement in Kolkata, India

In February 2017 we accepted an invitation by the East Bengal Ultras. They invited us to join them in one of the matches of their beloved club. We didn’t think twice - and immediately planned the trip to witness one of the greatest derbies in the world, the Kolkata derby.
This derby is normally held at the Salt Lake Stadium; with a record attendance of over 130.000 people in 1997. Unfortunately, during this trip, the stadium was under renovation for the upcoming FIFA Under 17 World Cup. For this reason, the venue was then moved to a much smaller stadium in Siliguri. A Town that is roughly 10 hours train ride up north from Kolkata.
This gave us enough time to get to know some of the members of the East Bengal Ultras who gave us some insights of their fan culture.

their choreography needs to improve and they need to create their own chants rather than getting inspired ...they should involve more of their legends name in their chants ..other than that EB ultras are really good...

[@sinhalalion1806]

Great video! But you guys need to promote it a bit better because the Trailer was like 9 month ago and i had alredy forgotten about it xD, just found it because of youtube recommendations. And would have been good to get some footage of the Derby too but nice video anyways :D

[@FootballFansAsia]

Hey Sinhala Lion, thanks for your feedback. We just had a small trip to India, so we were just able to film the match in Siliguri. So we have some footage of this match but decided to add some other footage to show also the development of the group. You can follow us on in Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, we mostly update and promote our videos there. And we always hope for the community to share our videos if they like them.

[@IndianFootballUltrasTV]

@@FootballFansAsia hey FFA you're doing a great work, but now ultras culture in India is rising and east bengal Ultras are becoming stronger. Apart from them there are other ultras in India like Manjappada for Kerala blasters, West block blues for BFC, Mariners base camp for Mohun Bagan and Blue Pilgrims for national team. So please make a video on football Ultras in India.
