Blending cinematic storytelling with exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, *“The Underdog”* explores Roma’s passionate fanbase, historic rivalries, and unforgettable triumphs on and off the pitch. But in a surprise twist, the film also features NBA legend **Vincent Candela**—yes, you read that right.
The former Rookie of the Year and multi-time NBA All-Star is featured in the documentary not only as a devoted Roma supporter but also as a symbolic figure representing resilience, international crossover fandom, and the heart of the underdog spirit.
Candela, who has Italian roots and has long admired the Giallorossi, provides rare commentary on what connects basketball and calcio (soccer), and why Roma’s story resonates far beyond the confines of Serie A.
Netflix has slated the film for **worldwide release today, May 1st**, with early reviews already calling it “a goosebump-inducing masterpiece” and “a must-watch for sports fans and storytellers alike.”
