Kickback is the decades-long crusade of one eccentric investigative journalist, Andrew Jennings, to expose corruption inside football's sole governing body and the largest sports organization in the world, FIFA.

Only one sport rules the globe. Played in dirt streets, sunbaked fields, and under the glaring lights of colossal stadiums with roaring screams from thousands of unwavering fans. More powerful than politics, religion, and even the laws of the land— Football. But, what happens when powerful political leaders from around the world and the most beloved sport intersect?

This is a story told through the lens of eccentric investigative journalist Andrew Jennings who pounded the pavement for over a decade to uncover the crime and corruption of FIFA’s top officials— from mob- like activity involving bribery, corruption, and embezzlement to global human rights issues. This archival- based film provides a detailed account of one man's crusade to expose the unbelievable true story about the exploitation of power at the highest levels— all in anticipation of the upcoming 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the most controversial tournament location to date.
