    • TOM MEETS ZIZOU is the first long term documentary ever made about a German professional football player covering a period of 8 years (2003-2011).
      It starts with the ambitious 22-year old midfielder Thomas Broich playing in the Bavarian province at 2nd division club „Wacker Burghausen“. Soon the German Junior International signs with Bundesliga club „Borussia Monchengladbach”, where he shines as a rising new star and is celebrated in 2004 as “the big hope for the future” alongside Bastian Schweinsteiger and Lukas Podolski.
