Roy, con-artist extraordinaire, lies, steals and manipulates his way into establishing an illegal football academy selling false hopes to vulnerable youth. The premise is enticing, but ultimately hearing directly from Roy for so much time spoils the experience. He might honestly be one of the least like-able personas on TV.
You'll feel complicit watching this documentary giving Roy exactly what he's always wanted - attention. And thats the rub. I was interested to hear more about the outlandish tales, but within the context of not acknowledging Roy for being some incredible entrepreneur and hustler. Anyone who takes advantage of kids like that shouldn't be provided any sort of limelight to explain their side of the story.

I would have preferred this documentary to not have the scumbag Roy in it. He tries to come off as a guy that just does what he wants, whenever he wants and laughs about it.
I feel for the kids that were swindled by him. Roy belongs in jail. He even asks am I in jail? He should be. He's a pathological liar. He says he is the most honest liar he knows. That says a lot about him.
I don't understand how any parent didn't check in to this at all. How can you not be interested in it your child's grades?
I think the actual production of the documentary was ok. I think the execution of it was poor. They give Roy way too much camera time.
