I Choose to Believe

I Choose to Believe (Elijo creer, 2023) is an Argentine documentary you can watch online on iFILM. Across 96 minutes it follows the national team toward that December night in Lusail when Lionel Messi finally lifted the World Cup.

The story comes straight from the players, in their own words: Messi, Ángel Di María, Emiliano Martínez, Julián Álvarez and coach Lionel Scaloni, with Ricardo Darín narrating. The cameras go where broadcasts can't — the dressing room, the team bus, the quiet talk before kickoff and the wreckage of emotion after, including the final against France that came down to penalties.

Directed by Gonzalo Arias and Martín Méndez, this isn't a highlight reel; it's a portrait of a squad that kept believing when the odds said otherwise. Best for anyone who lived and died with the Albiceleste and wants to feel the run again from the inside. Stream I Choose to Believe (2023) online on iFILM.
