'I Am Zlatan' - Movie
2024-12-12 17:00 - 19:00
Discover the incredible journey of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in ‘I Am Zlatan’. From a Swedish suburb to the pinnacle of international football.

Thursday, 12/12/2024 | 5 PM
Director: Jens Sjögren
Genre:Drama
Year of Production:2021
Duration:102 minutes

Languages: Swedish, English, Croatian | Subtitles: Arabic

I Am Zlatan” is a coming-of-age story depicting the upbringing of Zlatan Ibrahimović in a tough Swedish suburb. Born to immigrant parents from the Balkans, football became his escape as his exceptional talent and self-reliance, despite all odds, led him to the pinnacle of international football.

He has played for clubs like Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester United.

The film offers a poignant and detailed look at his family life, his relationship with Rosengård, the suburb he still calls home in Malmö. It shows his first big journey from the suburb on his bicycle to central Malmö, and later, to the rest of the world. He navigates his environment with the motto: “Listen, but don’t listen” — accepting good advice without losing his personal essence.

The screening is made possible through the generous support of the Consulate General of Sweden in Jerusalem.
