A documentar­y on Real Kashmir FC has bagged the prestigiou­s British Academy of Film and Television Awards (BAFTA) Scotland Awards 2019 at a glittering ceremony in Glasgow, Scotland. The documentar­y narrates the journey of former Rangers ace David Robertson as the coach of Real Kashmir FC, which in its first season finished third in the I-League, which is currently India’s second tier football league. The hour-long film, which was aired by BBC Scotland earlier this year, won in the ‘Single Documentar­y’ category.

“It feels amazing to have received this award at one of the biggest platforms in the world, BAFTA,” said Sandeep Chattoo, co-founder of Real Kashmir FC.

“Our dream, which started as a small team of Kashmiri Youth, playing football as a hobby, soon became one of the biggest and the most successful dream runs by any team.

“This award is a tribute to each and every person who has contribute­d to making this club what it is today. I thank David for his selfless effort in keeping the team together and would also like to thank Greg Clarke for bringing out the story beautifull­y on screen,” he added.

The director of the show, Clark was also nominated in the ‘Director — Factual’ category but he missed out of the award to Matt Pinder, who was adjudged winner for his film ‘Murder Case’.

Real Kashmir had a fairytale journey in their debut I-League season in 2017-18 as the team scripted some memorable wins against top sides including East Bengal and Mohun Bagan as they finished with 36 points from 19 games.
